If someone were interested in performing the filtering function, it
would not be hard for a human to post selected articles to the
appropriate newsgroup and improve the signal to noise ratio at a
small price. Still it should be at most one uncoodinated individual
to avoid duplicate news postings.

Could someone suggest the brief instructions that would be easy to
follow and pleasing to most newsgroup audiences?

Filters in both directions could enhance both and let most readers
drop one.

To get real fancy, someone could collect the best of any mailing
list or newsgroup and collect them in an archive of just the good
stuff. Not only could such a collection be made available via a
listserv, but also via FTP and Gopher and .... With a cross-link
mechanism, this could become the richly annotated, richly cross
indexed web of public information that I seek.
