Come on - The idea is not to make the net 'feel good', but to inform net
users about a possible alternative to the status quo.

What level of confidence do you think the average news administrator has that
Stargate will really happen?  I can't help but think that a little more
information would generate more faith and perhaps even more support.

There are a lot of people on the net, who for one reason or the other, aren't
members of usenix and may have never seen ;login: - It wouldn't take much
effort to post the status reports to usenet also, now would it?
