I don't think it would add any noticable load either.

Are there places which are set up specifically to give out newsfeeds to
specific groups and to receive posts back to them (at a reasonable cost)?
I wouldn't want to steal a Usenet newsfeed from my ISP and relay messages back
out through it.
Is there any value in having a read-only copy of rec.toys.lego hosted here
(much easier to set up), or is it only of value if it's postable-to?
I am hesitant to tackle solving the issues of crossposting, filtering
binaries/MIME, and real-life-name social issues...
