Don't know.... do you mind google doing it?

It probably is a little cheeky, but then again it adds an alternate
access method that may be useful for some.

If you do you can set to no archive. But these smaller web sites seem to
ignore this.

Yeah, but the broken threads are a PITA, hence I kill everything with
diybanter in the message id or ref. At least some google posters know how
to post without breaking threads.

They quite often don't archive for long either though - once the message
has scrolled off its cache its gone. That is not really any different
from standard ISP newsfeeds (which also ignore "no archive").

With google it is there for good unless you tell it otherwise.

A poster has copyright control of their posts. If you wanted you could
put a copyright notice on your posts stating who can and cannot copy or
reproduce your posting.

I don't see any broken threads due to diybanter.com
at the moment.

I just went and had a look at diybanter.com, and it
seems to be explaining quite clearly what it's doing
and how it links to the usenet newsgroups:
http://www.diybanter.com/showthread.php?t=59112
A pointer to the FAQ would be good to add though.
I can't see any harm at the moment. If it started to
become a source of noise or other abuse and the admin
didn't respond to reports, then it would clearly be
appropriate to take action.

TBH, I really can be bothered to worry about this.

however I assume this is run by the same outfit that runs the
gardenbanter forums (which use uk.rec.gardening in the same way)

According to recent thread, they do now respect the X-no-archive header
