=How about a new alias, "xxx-archive", for every moderated sources group.  The
=moderator can attach headers as appropriate and mail the article to the
=archive site(s); or perhaps use a special distribution "arch" to send the
=posting.

I believe that this is a truly horrible idea.

Since my last posting on this thread I've heard from several news admins
who were glad SAO was posted.  Most said "I'm not gonna use it, but I
sure am glad several copies aren't being mailed through my site."

For large-scale dissemination of bytes, it is hard to get a more
efficient mechanism than Usenet.

Happy holidays.
