That's a lie.

Kenneth Sloan, please stop flooding rec.games.chess.computer
with posts that have nothing to do with computer chess.

Is *cross-posting* technically considered to be
spamming? Many times, I have noticed that one
(or many) of my replies got posted to other newsgroups
which I never read, apparently because the post to
which I replied had multiple newsgroups listed, and
these are *automatically* copied by my browser.
The same thing applies to the topic header: if some
nitwit, like say Skippy Repa, were to type a nasty
comment into that field, it is *automatically* copied
into my reply -- something which might well escape
notice until afterward. Given these automated
"features", it is quite easy for things to get mucked
up.
