Well, except that by posting to Usenet, you are implicitly giving permission for what you write to
be reproduced on millions of newsfeeds. There are not copyright issues with respect to providing
an alternative feed, even a cens^H^H^H^Hmoderated one.

I think there's a line there somewhere. If for some reason, someone took one of my usenet postings
and published it in a book without getting my permission first ... I'm pretty sure I could sue them.
I'm 100% sure I'd be very unhappy that they did so.
I guess, to me, there's a difference between saying, "we're providing a mirror to this usenet group
for your convenience," and, "we're providing this discussion group." I'm big on giving credit where
credit is due, and particularly on not taking credit where it's not due.
