I think this service is a GREAT idea.  Combined with the indexing service,
it saves wading through all those cute non-source posts that end up in
non-moderated groups.  Maybe if we could get the user base to grow up 
enough to stop posting drivel in source groups, then perhaps the
service would be unnecessary.  As it is, I'm more than willing to 
spend the bandwidth and storage to accomidate the dups.
