Not a problem, the discussion was getting a bit out of hand so misunderstandings are unsuprising.

Barry,
First, I want to apologize. I (badly) misread your email, but in case I should not have responded that way. I would have gotten this out sooner, but I was traveling back from the CableLabs conference.
Second, my assertion is simply that Usenet servers aren't automagically symmetrical in their bandwidth usage and that trying to build a system off of NNTP so that each broadband subscriber became in effect a Usenet server wouldn't work well without significant modifications.
Third, if anyone cares the Usenet server we ran was news.america.net

I can't help it if you don't like real world data. On Mar 3, 2015 2:25 PM, "Barry Shein" <bzs@world.std.com> wrote:
Ok, then I no longer have any confidence that I understand what you were asserting.
Generally when someone says they don't understand me I assume it's my fault for not being clear and try to clarify.
Apparently you prefer to be rude.
