jmcs <jmcs@nowhere.invalid> asked: > I wanted to ask: do you know what the "number of messages" represents? > is it a total of messages ever, last month, last year...? Newsgroup articles/messages seen by that particular server since it began carrying that group, so it's a local count, not a world-wide count. It's also not necessarily a count of how many articles are still available from that server, since news servers can have whatever expiration policy they wish for each newsgroup, including "never". ["expiration": discard articles older than N days after receipt.] If you were to set up your own news server, its article numbers would begin at 1 in each group and increase indefinitely. -WBE
