Urm, Indybay doesn't have a seperate reposts wire, I'm
sure I saw one somewhere but I can't remember which
site...

Portland has a topic for them:

   Reposts

   Reposts re articles that originated from another
   source, like weblogs, information translated to
   english, and alternative non-corporate news sites.
   portland indymedia volunters do reserve the right to
   compost articles reposted from corporate press.
