   Careful there doc, you're cruising for a round of abuse reports with   
   that attitude.  I've already received one for the above post (for   
   posting to more than three newsgroups). Fortunately, though, my news   
   provider is aware of the tykesground gang and will not be bullied into   
   closing accounts just because of a four group cross-post.
