Sort of.. I just CC:'ed ding@gnus.org and it looks like
the post finally pops up here.  (I added your mail in
the To: header because I wasn't sure if that would work
or will be rejected).  I guess that I won't be able to
post to other groups where authentication is a required
thing.

Yes, that's true.

Something like: https://bit.ly/2VOza3S
(Short-URL to emacs.stackexchange.com, 
Title: How to edit crontab directly within emacs when I 
already have emacs open?, 
Estimated Size: 200k)

The drawback of this is that you have to go through
another service like bit.ly (or create your own) - but
nevertheless, there will be one redirect on the URL
consumer side.

In the case of stack*-.com pages, you can also strip
off the title because the number encodes the article
already.  This would work, too:

https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/10077/ 

Depending on the configuration, website, content
management system etc. other such combinations are
possible.

Nice setup, indeed.
