*I* wouldn't, because I prefer natural NNTP, but I this is definitely 
something that non-USENET people might like. Esp. if it could also 
simulate a mailing list. With a mailing list add-on, I believe the 
argument USENET vs mail would become irrelevant.

You could publish this as a software project somewhere then, I'm sure 
people would find other uses for it (with other USENET groups).
