The recent postings about compressing the startup files got me looking 
at my own startup file sizes, and now I have a question ...

What earthly use is the .newsrc.el file?  I cannot recall what I was
doing on August 11, 1995, but I doubt it was anything that has much
meaning in the context of running Quassia Gnus in September 1997 ...
