I like the reposting service.  It is a lot less work for me to get his post
than to look up the original article, which is important when I am short on
time (which is most of the time).

I don't think that the bandwidth is all that much to worry about.  If it is,
however, perhaps you can suggest a way to create alt.sources articles which
are links to articles in other newsgroups, as if the original had been
crossposted.

Some people can read the news, but not e-mail or ftp.

BoB smokes *my* pipe!            We carry in our hearts the true country...
In 1869, the waffle iron was invented, thus solving the annoying tendency of
waffles to wrinkle in the dryer.                        No new tale to tell.
