That's something I've considered. But I figure that a typical site
lean on space would have the expiration set to about 3 days, so even a
once a week pointer wouldn't be there half the time. I think twice a
week would just about constitute some flavor of spam, especially for
readers who don't know how to use a killfile.
And I suspect that many posters don't even bother to read the existing
articles in the group before posting a new question. I suppose there's
not much that can be done about that.
The best way to keep things in line is to have other people who read
the group help make the expected behavior clear. I'm not going to
lead a one-man crusade. But I think many of the people who would do
that have been driven away already. Ah well.
Death of Usenet predicted! Film at 11. :-)
