Retention Rates
A retention rate measures how long a news server holds articles from a given newsgroup.
News Servers do not have unlimited storage, and due to this fact they can only hold posts for a short length of time before they must delete them in order to make room for new posts. This is a particular problem to binary newsgroups which transmit large volumes of articles.
