   Simple answer:   
      
   It's better than cross-posting to edm.general and bringing   
   kooks here.   
      
   It also means the collective IQ of this group has trebled   
   in the past week!   
      
   Observations:   
      
   Why do you have to reply to every post that people make?   
      
   Why don't you snip the cross-posts to the non-relevant   
   newsgroups?
