Yes.  It wastes disk space, CPU time, and transmission bandwidth on a
feature in which nobody seems to be interested but you.

I realize that I can't stop you from adding such a feature to your own
news software, but I'm sure you realize that it won't do you a whole
lot of good unless many other sites implement it.  Fortunately (from
my perspective) it doesn't look like that will happen.
