Makes sense.  But then, if there is nothing special about the  
site that an nntp presence can provide, then why bother going  
to that site?

For the Gopher/echomail system, the blogger could make the  
primary article available via gopher, but steer replies/ 
comments to a sister-echo.   That way, gopher technology gets  
greater awareness and echomail gets new converts.
