When you post on newsgroups, the text gets sent to numerous news servers

No, nothing is in the public domain unless you specifically put it
there. For someone to profit from the use of my Usenet posts is
infringement on my copyright.

What are your feelings on Google Groups ?

You don't see an x-no-archive header on my post, do you?

Does this mean that you don't have a problem with Google (which is a
for-profit enterprise selling/generating ads based on post content)
archiving your posts, yet you have problems with other sites doing
essentially the same thing? If so, what do you see as the difference?

Or does your statement mean that you don't really care either way, and
were just passing on information earlier?
