- I admit, this one hits close to home. Imagine creating a post, the
- text of which reads perfectly well into two or more _completely_ unrelated
- newsgroups. It's best if the post is good and controversial. Then, when
- people forward replies, they appear in both groups. The example I had in
- mind was an animal-lovers group, a hunters group, and alt.non-sequiter thrown
- in for a little more confusion.
