That should have read "crossposted".  INT(SQR(20)) = 4.  Under BI rules,
it still gets carried to 20 groups, usually with 15 of them being
inappropriate and 5 of them I read, with my luck.

The reader is fine.  It is UUPC that creates the separate files.  Doesn't
really matter, anyhow.  See my other long-winded post about how spam
begets spam, plus the fact that if it were appropriately posted I probably
wouldn't see it anyhow.
