Remember way back when in article <3938@gryphon.CTS.COM> when mhnadel@gryphon.CTS.COM (Miriam Nadel) said... 
-We periodically see suggestions about how to cut down on cross-posting and
-the most workable thing I've noticed so far is the suggestion that the
-news software should require you to confirm that you really want to crosspost
-the article in question to all the groups mentioned.  That may cut down on
-careless crossposting (which very likely is the major problem) but I'd like
-to suggest that there should be some filters which would outright prevent
-crossposting between certain groups.  For example,
-
			[ some stuff removed ]

-talk.bizarre and rec.arts.startrek - for obvious reasons
-

	Actually, generally anything cross-posted between talk.bizarre and any
	other newsgroup, is cross-posted to at least one wrong newsgroup.

	And generally, talk.bizarre and rec.humor mix the worst.  Talk.bizarre
	and alt.flame is the only combination that ever (sometimes) makes
	sense.
