   My newsserver is configed to kill all xposts to alt cp. Early on   
   I found that I missed nothing related to cyberpunk by doing that,   
   and enjoyed a much better S/N ratio for my reading pleasure.   
      
   You do as you please about what you read or kill. To my knowledge,   
   neither Schwann nor Palmer have posted much to altcp discussions   
   over the years. Their interests lie elsewhere. As to why they xpost   
   to altcp, I dunno, but a friendly assumption would be that they   
   believe their articles are relevant to either cyberpunk or to the   
   readers of this group (who may not be identical to the posters to   
   this group).   
      
   They're both harmless usenetters.
