    Pretty good summation.

    Reference to the subject at hand:

    Whatever I have offered only applies if you are using Linux/UNIX.

    And if you do not remove the X-No-Archive: Yes from your headers you will
    not receive another reply from me.

    The Usenet Archives are very important, just as important as the Usenet itself,
    and keeping your posts out of it is just plain selfish.

    (Actually, I am not even sure it will work there. If I remember correctly, it
    has to be on the first line of the body. And on top of that, whether it even
    works or not is up to the newsmaster and how he/she configures the server(s).)

    I understand WHY you are doing this, but that's not the way.
