Indeed.

Yeah, I think it would be of limited usefulness.  Probably the only
type of tagged address that makes sense in NNTP use 'dated', and that
is less useful there since addresses are harvested so quickly.

Also, many newsreaders allow you to set your From address using an
external program (tmda-address in this case).

Lastly, direct replies aren't as common in newsgroups are they are in
mailing lists and e-mail in general.

Sure, or if you'd like to reduce confirmation requests even further,
post using your bare address and use the Message-ID trick discussed in
FAQ 5.5.
