And then any time you make a change to a server's settings, like changing
the password, you have to edit the file again. All because of a document
that hasn't been updated for most of Pan's lifetime, from an age before
Usenet was primarily a means for transmitting binaries.
When commercial NNTP servers actually advertise how many simultaneous
connections you can make as a means of differentiating themselves from
other services, it's time to let that part of the GNKSA die. If the
authors don't care enough to revise it, it's time to let all of it die, or
just issue your own and call it "GNKSA 3.0" since they won't care about
that either.
