system@codeworks.gen.nz (Wayne W. McDougall):

> 2. Why *should* I publicly post details of my activities?

It's considered good netiquette - I'm sure you are in favour of 
that.

People have a right to know that you are filtering their news for 
them.

If you take the serious step of cancelling other people's posts
then you need to be accountable both to the original poster 
(hence the email notification), and to the readership at large 
(hence the public notification).

I'm not sure of the ideal format for the public notification, you 
could start by looking in aus.net.news for inspiration.

Dumping the contents of your email folder is not really what I 
had in mind.

Come to think of it, did you ask all those people if it was OK to 
quote their private email on Usenet? Netiquette and all that.

The misleading Reply-To: in the emails was also less than 
impressive.

Regards,
...Dave
