- An article about voting for a particular presidential candidate affects all of
- us too. Even if you're not a US citizen or resident, the US has enough
- world-wide influence that which president is elected is probably going to have

- newsgroups?

- Anyone can get heart disease. Should I post articles about cholesterol in
- gnu.misc.discuss because it affects "all of us" and so can go to every
- newsgroup on the net?
