A word of caution about newsgroups.... some of them retain message
FOREVER. I read about it in an internet security bulletin and
consequently did a google search on my name one day. I saw a few years
worth of messages that I had posted to various news groups. I guess
it's not a huge deal but still left me feeling kind of strange.
