If I make a posting (though groups.google.com, say, or to answers.yahoo.com for that matter), by virtue of the fact that I author the piece, I have copyright on it.
However, newsgroup postings are typically picked up by other services and made public (archived) on the web such as at groups.google.com or http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/.
Contrast this with articles from news sources which are not rebroadcast.
Where does the essential distinction come from? And is there something that I should write in posts to maximally restrict dissemination (e.g. may not be republished without permission).
Specific references appreciated.
