Hi, Currently, I'm using yarn-089 and am enjoying it very much. Over the
next few weeks, however, I will be switching providers, hence the following
questions.

#1 Should I delete all my news spool files before running uqwk on my new
provider?

#2 If I subscribe to the same groups on my new provider, I may miss articles
which the new provider received, but which haven't yet gotten to my old
provider. Is there a way to prevent this IE a way to compair two sets of
spool files on import?

#3 I have various mailing lists get filtered to "news groups". I'm planning
to just unsubscribe from these lists on one provider and subscribe to them
on the other. Is this too easy?

#4 Is there anything else which I should worry about before ending my
account with the old provider?

Any info/help appreciated.

Steve
