	I suggest that the cross-posting constraint you describe be
relaxed to allow crossposting from other newsgroups that are within
the comp.ai.* heirarchy.  This will allow for articles that are not
only relevant to a particularly esoteric AI newsgroup, but might also
be of general interest to the general AI community.  Any automated
newsgroup moderator worth its salt should be able to accomodate this
type of article filter.
