No, apparently not. What I was dwelling on is how making a (news)group
a read/write list mirror could be done. But as of know, and as I
understand it, while you can create arbitrary groups on google
and even subscribe them to mailing lists, google provides no means for
the other direction. I.e. anything posted to your group will stay
there and not propagate.
