I didn't notice you approaching uk.d-i-y asking if contributors
were
happy to you using their posts either


I haven't seen Google groups doing so either, me thinks there are
double standards working here....

to
have approached the issue


They don't need *your* permission to supply a nntp to web interface
(even if it is read only).
