An article about voting for a particular presidential candidate affects all of
us too.  Even if you're not a US citizen or resident, the US has enough
world-wide influence that which president is elected is probably going to have
some indirect on you.  Should such an article be posted to a thousand-odd
newsgroups?

Anyone can get heart disease.  Should I post articles about cholesterol in
gnu.misc.discuss because it affects "all of us" and so can go to every
newsgroup on the net?
