    There's another very good reason: an American friend who was
    interviewing potential staff for his firm checked DEC's Altavista
    site to see what sort of Usenet postings they made.  He found
    nothing, but then checked his own name and was horrified to find
    himself listed as posting to one of the pedophilia groups: he had
    responded quite innocently to an article in a perfectly
    respectable group and hadn't noticed to which other groups it had
    been crossposted.  I've been religiously checking the headers
    since he told me about it.

    Incidentally, the Altavista site stores postings to this and other
    Demon groups.
