Right, basically.  One thing we were talking about a while back was using
'lynx --dump' to convert the source data (which includes minimal HTML
markup) into ASCII for spitting out into the ng.

For right now, yes, but ultimately this group will probably be more like the
.cad.dat.* groups, where the groups are a "dumping group" or "echo area" of
data posted automatically by the server when it's been submitted to a
web-page.  The advantage of echoing it into this ng is that it's a great way
to process and record discussions that pop up.
