	What I meant to convey (and apparently failed) was that a large
part of the distributed netnews talk has centered on a protocol between
a client and a server. It seems to me that this may ba analagous to the protocol
needed between a remote site and the "new repository" for requesting missing
articles. I realize that there are substantial differences, I am merely
wondering out-loud (?) if the common parts of both protocols
(SEND-ME article 133 in net.wizbang) should be the same.
