Suppose, for travellers, a network of volunteers could post
to the net each day, for their region, state, or city, the
weather and local forecast.  Each posting could list as its
subject line the region/state/ or city and the date.  Could
this be dependable?  Would volunteers keep up?  Would it be
a copyright or license violation to pull information from local
newspaper and radio?  The postings could be set to expire in
1 or 2 days;  the whole group would run, at any one time,
perhaps 50 to 100 postings.
