What happenned to Spaf's suggestion to change some inet-only groups full fledged
usenet newsgroups?  In particular, news.software.nntp.

We have, like many others do, a small set of Sun workstations that are networked
together via TCP/IP over Ethernet.  We are not connected to the Internet, but
plan to use NNTP between some diskfull workstations.  The problem is that
news.software.nntp has been distributed via Internet mailing lists, not via uucp.

I vote that this particular inet newsgroup be made available via usenet.
(That's right, I'm advocating inet leakage in this case.)
