Continuing a soliloque that I started yesterday afternoon, with a post 
that was supposed to be limited to "Distribution: a2i", I note that it
has already been archived on DejaNews.  So much for that idea.  This time
I'll try posting with "x-noarchive: no" in the header.  Seems like a 
double negative to me, but I also noted that there were a number of 
"x-noarchive: yes" articles archived in DejaNews, but none with "...: no".
(I'll delete these articles from this newsgroup in 24-hours, but they
will remain forever in the DejaNews archives.)
