Well, you could always try to set up an alternate feed.  I know there are
a couple groups I read where I'd like to see some UK input (rec.arts.drwho
comes to mind! :-).  I'll make this deal with you...  If you want rec.poems
or whatever, I'll let you poll one of my machines which has it, so long
as you also take rec.arts.drwho to England....
