(So what happens if I were to repost my article with a Supersedes: header
(and a copyright notice?  The theory is that this hunts out for all exist-
(ing copies on USENET and replaces them.  Not that I think any are left.

Mr. Berch's article stated that notification to holders of copies was
insufficient, that notice had to be imprinted on each copy.  I think
'supersedes' falls more under the former category, especially as it
would have no effect on legally printed copies of the article, or
archived or backup copies.  Sorry.
