Several people pointed out that this was due to the referenced article
already having been expired.  I'm still intrigued!!  It's clear how to be
simply minded and *not* generate the information, but with all the
references, *something* is known about the subject matter isn't it, it's
know which newsgroups they are in, isn't it?

>Is there *any* value without it?

The concensus was, "not much".

Finally, as a list, it firmly belongs in news.lists.  Let it be buried
there!!
