+Leafnode is a USENET software package designed for small sites, with a
+few tens of readers and only a slow link to the net.
+
+Only groups that someone has been reading in the past week are fetched
+from the upstream NNTP server. When someone stops reading a group,
+fetchnews will stop reading that group a week later (this is the default
+which can be configured), and when someone starts reading a group, fetchnews
+will grab all the articles it can in that group the next time it runs.
