The same thing that keeps that poster from sending the article to
net.singles, net.social, net.unix, net.unix_wizzards, net.auto, AND
net.general -- viz. nothing.  So what would we lose?  A jerk is still
a jerk in either case.  However, the equivalent of "innocent"
mis-postings to, for example, net.general should be much lower.
