No Brad.

The group ``belongs'' to the people that read it and post to it.

You are the caretaker.

And even if you were able to legally slap a compilation copyright
on the group (my lawyer says no - this is not a ``centralized collection'')
it may be legal, but it violates the spirit of USENET and will simply
not be tolerated by the USENET community at large.
