A 'net etiquette' document that was required reading for every new
netnews reader, wouldn't be hard to implement.  It could be an article
posted to net.general with a very long expiration time, coupled with
a shell procedure to be run as part of the netnews installation
procedure, that posted a copy of the same etiquette article to 'general' with
an equally long expiration date.

The first (net.general) posting would get to all current sites (which
are not likely to do a full installation in the near future) and the
second posting (general -- at installation time) would get to all
future sites.

Now all we need is such an article.  Any volunteers to write one?
