Yes, this was my intent. I was not suggesting a moderated news group.
A moderated news group sounds like it is too much work.

Yes, I think it should work this way. Except, I suppose the original
message would need to be posted to the new moderated news group, and
another copy to the follow-up news group.

I also think yet another news group might be needed. This one would
post the "Special Sale found at K-Mart" messages, but not the FOTW
postings. I'm of mixed feelings about this one. It would be great to
have all the national sales notices in an easily accessible place, but
on the other hand, we have so many regional stores that this might be
useless to many people. For instance, I don't have access to Service
Merchandise and Caldor, but I know that other people would need to see
these messages.

Assuming that you are in the US, I offer $15.00 for the 9V motor and the
two parts that snap on to the sides. Postage to Los Angeles would be
additional. Let me know.
Best,
