My claim is different:
The moderators have the right to reject any article they like.  If they reject
an article the debate can still go on in another group.  By refusing to tell
the readers that there is a follow-up they reduce the probability for 
an on-line continuing debate in *another* newsgroup.

I agree that the article will be two weeks later in the archive,
I just can't see what difference does it make.
