I am sure if I broadcast a message on any of the networks mentioned above
or on something like net.asia that Kapildev is back for the fourth
testmatch  or that a new record of Nazia and Zoheb Hasan is to be released
soon , there will be millions of "flames" as to why I broadcast it on
net.asia ..
As to having different groups like net.lang.asia.india  , imagin a
group by the name net.lang.humun.world.americas.northamerica.usa--
What a convenient name ?
