That's unfriendly.

Can you post an article locally, i.e. is this a general C News issue, 
or related to spool mechanics?

I used to run C News on NetBSD until the time_t change to 64 bit which 
broke it. Fixing the package 
<https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc-wip/tree/master/c-news> is still on 
the list, but halfway down...

Good luck,
Hauke
