Just a small newbie hint: Many people inadvertedly cross post to
numerous news groups because the article they are commenting on was
cross posted. I've made that mistake as well. When you select 'follow
up article' take a look at the header and the 'newsgroups'  field. If
it says bc.general, can.general, alt.newt.gingrich.usa.politics,
soc.culture.turkey etc. you can delete the names of all news groups
except the one you actually wish to post your comment to. In that way
the original poster might get flamed for debating the NCHS scandal  in
the Turkish news group, but you won't.
