I could set things up to post straigt away, but I like them to go
through the server as sort of a feedback check on:

1) My software isn't Broken [tm]
2) The news server isn't Broken [tm]
3) My articles make sense within the framework of other posts to the
group at that time
4) I'm not Broken [tm]

Actually, forget #3
