The problem with this scheme is that by the time the source appears here, I notice it and post my message in newsgroup x, and my message in newsgroup x gets to the further reaches of Usenet the original sources newsnote has expired. Maybe sending the announcement to the moderator so the she/he can post it in newsgroup x when the sources are posted. Or use alt.sources. Or forget the hassles and not post it at all!!!! -- Ted H.
