Thanks Jesse, I hope next year is more peaceful!

All posting from my gateway goes through eternal-september.  I don't even
have an account on your server, I'm just reading from it anonymously.

I don't have many users so far, but I have tried to code the XPAT search
so that it will not cause excessive load. It starts by querying a block
of 10000 article numbers, then keeps doubling the block size until it finds
at least a screenful (30) of results. So a query for something silly like
'*' will just return the first 10000 and then stop.  The code for this is at
https://chiselapp.com/user/cmacleod/repository/newsgrouper/file?name=scripts/newsgetter&ci=tip
- search for 'xpat'.
