That might be the best solution - though it'll probably only work for
people who post via the web interface. News/Mail users will fail to get
the updates (I believe).
But it is the best idea solution I've heard. If you actually move the
post, do you send out emails to all the people that are subscribed to
the new newsgroup, but not the old? The NNTP subscribers will see the
whole thread appear, as if all at once - not sure if newsreaders are
supposed to realize that these messages were already viewed by the user
in the other newsgroup. I suspect the newsreaders will do the right
thing.
Just some things to consider :)
