ALAN, 
 
 AH> How do Internet newsgroups compare with FidoNet echoes?  In an echo, 
 AH> every bbs

 AH> the same

Sometimes in newsgroups I have seen messages that quote previous 
messages, but I never saw the previous messages.  So I don't think all 
messages always go to all news servers.  My local ISP chooses their news 
server so I don't have a direct say in the choice of news server. 
 
Ask someone at your ISP to get the real answer. 
 
Take care.
