If one runs their own hobbyist Unix machine they might want to check out
nntpcache (http://www.nntpcache.org). Its a proxy/cache system which also
works very well for merging multiple NNTP servers into one NNTP server. If
there are multiple people reading from one machine (such as lugnet.com) then
it'll also keep the load on the main server (lugnet in this case) lower.
