ROTFL :-))
this is the phonetic form of the french "je ne sais quoi" which is,
litteraly "I do not know what" meaning exactly what you did intend.

"nannies for newsgroups" is a good idea but I think that some people
will think, if they receive only one message, that its states a non
standard opinion.
success also depends upon the form (friendliness and clarity) of your std
message.

I had a a project of a function for Gnus wich will "'zamine" the current
article and automagically generate the draft of an email to the author with
std paragraph explaining why one may not use long sigs, long lines, bad
"From" address ...

those approaches are nearly braindead, in fact, because all newsreaders (or
newsposting agents) must IMHO check this and warn (or bounce) at posting
time. but things are not perfect :-)
