Full stop there Miles.

As has been discussed (at length) on other lists, IPFS is meant for FILES.

As such, just about anything and everything that has Protocol in it's 
name is not natively compatible with a file system as it's 
communications mechanism.

You could probably store a traditional news spool on IPFS, but it would 
almost certainly be inherently single point of update to avoid issues 
with overview databases and article numbers, etc.

But you probably could get traditional news clients that read from the 
raw news spool to read articles.  I have no idea how the posting would 
go because that will almost certainly involve <something> Protocol 
<maybe something else>.
