A lot of people outside bc like to read bc.* newsgroups to keep up
with what's going on here. I don't think we can effectively restrict
bc.* to bc only.

The leakage may have been due to a cross-post, anyway. If I cross-post
to bc.general and alt.test, this post will propogate to every site
in the world that carries alt.test. Since bc.general remains in
the Newsgroups:  header, this post will `re-appear' in any bc.general
on any of those servers, unless they have set their hosts.nntp file
(assuming they're running INN) not to post to those groups when
the message comes from the particular site it came from.
