I keep seeing requests in newsgroups '*wanted*' for sources and things and I
would LOVE to send these people what they want, but am prevented from doing so
by consideration of the mail cost.  How about you NEWS and MAIL gurus out there
implementing some kind of reverse-charging system specially for this purpose?

Perhaps a newsgroup '*wanted*.followup' which will be reverse charged ONLY if
the sender of the corresponding article posted to the '*wanted*' newsgroup has
authorised that PARTICULAR sender to send the followup articles.

Perhaps have 'mod.wanted*' newsgroups which will collect public domain things
which have been requested in a '*wanted*' newsgroup and the moderator will
either be reversed charged for mail or put the sources on a publicly accessible
machine on, say, the ARPANET.
