Specificially, posting an ad to a group relayed to the ARPAnet can cause all manner of trouble, up to and including severing the gateway for that group. I don't think anyone can keep track of exactly which groups are forwarded -- I sure can't -- but I know that net.micro, net.works, and net.unix-wizards -- some of the most likely candidates for multiple groups -- are. --Steve Bellovin BTL MH x5886
