   I know that logic dictates that in newsgroups on astronomy such as   
   alt.astronomy and sci.astro there is more than one of them.  So it is not   
   logical to suggest that one is the only one by choosing that as one's   
   pseudonym.

   Impossible.  Spock would know not to crosspost to 3 newsgroups without   
   Followup-To using an invalid From header field -- not violating the Prime   
   Directive aside ;-)
