well, i already did that. the original article appeared in dc.media. since it
seemed pointless to discuss people not knowing about a group only within the
unknown group, it made sense to crosspost to a more widely used group that
might have people in it who might use it if they knew about it. as for
_pointless_ cross-posts, thats why this one's getting sent to alt.cascade.
that and because im too lazy to edit away the previous postings.
