Well, perl has an NNTP module. So with some hacking, you can program
something that will do just like that, based on regular expressions or
whatever. Do you know perl? If not, I think python, Tcl, Ruby, etc. also
have similar functionality. One of them should do the job.

Otherwise you can try STFEing Freshmeat or Google.

BTW, I think I'm getting too used to the "STFE" term. It might leak out of
Linux-IL...

A more experienced programmer does not make less bugs. He just realizes
what went wrong more quickly.
