Oh, I agree.  I don't think the arguments separate that easily -- I felt
that your point was implicit in mine.  I think any site that gets only part
of the feed will be under constant user pressure to get the rest AND will
not get as much benefit from the technical material since people will not
have as much incentive to make reading them part of their normal day.

As I've said elsewhere, though, I favor a more active approach.  I think
technical posters who believe in a free net should add a copyright
statement to their postings giving permission to disseminate only to
media that forward ALL postings.
