Instead of just clueless newbies stumbling upon something | new to them, they think that they're just in another web forum discussion, | and follow the (sometimes very different) customs of that forum with no | regard to the fact that the messages will be propagated through Usenet. | | -- | Warren H. | | ========== | Disclaimer: My views reflect those of myself, and not my | employer, my friends, nor (as she often tells me) my wife. | Any resemblance to the views of anybody living or dead is | coincidental.

Good point !
I ran into an odd situation in a alt.fishing and rec.outdoors.fishing several months ago.
Someone would posting in alt.fishing and the reply would be posted rec.outdoors.fishing because the web based forum admin. screwed it all up.
