When these groups are announced to the r.t.l. as a whole, will these

I imagine (and I mean that -- I'm making this up right now, based completely
on my own little universe and not on anything I've read or seen) that Todd
will eventually make some sort of web-based access to the newsgroup,
including a search funciton.

Yea, that's the idea.  The search function may not appear before articles
have to be archived/expired, but they won't be tossed out.  In the worst
case, the old articles would still be available somewhere in some raw,
non-searchable way -- maybe via HTTP or maybe here via NNTP in some kind of
archives ng...

Plan on abiding by the x-no-archive convention?

Just curious - I can't imagine why someone wouldn't want their
posts to show up in a lugnet archive, and, in fact, I regret having
used the x-no-archive header for a long time in the past.  Prevents
me from going back to dejanews and dusting off, say, my noncanonical
and incomplete list of named minifigures I used to post.

(...) Maybe. It will definitely ignore it in terms of the actual archiving, but it might honor it in terms of re-serving it publicly later. Will need to cogitate on this one. --Todd (26 years ago, 2-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)
