Read the article. Thanks for the lead. Fascinating area of reasearch.
Easy to think of many benefits and risks. That's life. There is a lot of
research on this sort of thing going on by many people; not only by
Microsoft and not only on USENET postings.

Is it really spying when all the information is publicly
available to anyone?

I suppose we're all spying then.

Must be horrible to be so paranoid.

Reading public newsgroup messages is considered *spying*?

What part of the word *public* do you have trouble understanding?

Yep - Google carries all this information already, if anyone cared to
unwrap it. And I'm sure the NSA/CIA/FBI/MI5/etc. all have their own
archives, databases, and analysis engines, most of which will sneer at
'X-No-archive' headers. 8>.

It's a headline that got ya'll to read it.
