I'd love to see a Usenet version of this group.  One of the groups I
frequent (the groupstudy cert lists), has the ability to post two way via
mail/web/nntp.  I really like the NNTP format, keeps a lot of mail off my HD
and makes it much easier to follow old threads.

I wouldn't consider gatewaying nanog into usenet land (even one way) to
be
the world most constructive exercise...

I do.  I read NANOG in a private local newsgroup.  It only works
one-way --
to post, I have to send mail to nanog () merit edu and so my address has to
be
entered on the nanog-post list.  KILL files are wonderful.  /etc/aliases
says:

local-mail-net-nanog:   |"/news/local/mailpost -d local
local.mail.net.nanog"

i've put a copy of "mailpost" at http://www.vix.com/~vixie/mailpost.txt.
it's
really a perl script, 324 lines long, written by me back in 1992 or so.
