Please do not do that. Not everybody on usenet is on a big high speed direct
link net. Many sites, like mine, are dialup. We get selective feeds, not the
useless stuff (alt.{most anything}, etc). I get 20 newsgroups. People who post
to multiple newsgroups are bad enough. Posting a big system would be very 
expensive. Once it arrives in the US, most anyone who wants it will be able
to download it with ftp, or use a mail server. Be patient, you will get your
copy in good time. You have lived without it until now, right?
