The FoRK thing to do would be to make sure to add value-adding
annotation rather than simply just forward stuff (see for example my
value-adding and informative exchanges with Dave Winer on FoRK :).
Much of this stuff shows up on
http://www.memepool.com/ or
http://www.slashdot.org/ so having a bit of extra comment makes it
worthwhile (even if just 'this suxkz'...). Msg id filtering would be
neat but since there's so many other ways to encounter the same info
(www, rss etc) that's not really going to help a huge deal...
