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!!!!
