CNews (the newsserver software running here) is super-wicked efficient, so
it's possible for it to serve data to 1 person (maybe 2) with a load
average still at 0.00 -- since it's a load average is an average, after
all. But I still think it's odd that it said 0.00 there at that time of
the day. Oh well. 0.00 isn't really that uncommon for this server.

I'm not ruling it out yet (because I'm new at this), but as far as I can
tell, you're right, it's not.

I hope it doesn't create a separate NNTP connection for each thread!

Is the capital E after H there a pronunciation aid? If so, does it work?
Maybe I should write my name as Todd LEhman (it's Irish, not German, so the
'e' is 'ee' and not 'ay' :-).
