I like the idea a lot!  I have often wished for a copy of a long dead news
item.  Even better would be a service for searching the archives for all
items that reference a certain boolean combination of keywords, or even
more sophisticated.  The service shouldn't be too expensive to run if 
requests were batched together, so there only needed to be one pass over
the archives per day/week/month (depending on volume or requests).
