Ok. That is the current situation after the initial complaints.

I would like to have the content of the mailing
lists somehow available. Can I simply zero out the headers and post it
like that?

I have used the linux.* in the past with good success especially if I am
getting into areas that I have not read up on.

Do you know who is the "owner" of the linux.* newgroups? If you are would
you let me take them over?
