Then I vote nay.  One-way newsgroup gateways are counterintuitive -- if you 
see an article in netnews, and you reply to it, you expect that the person who 
wrote the original is going to see your response.  I suspect that all that you 
will accomplish would be pissing off the people who keep posting questions to 
netnews but everyone ignores them...
