]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?

Definitely!  Do you know how much cholesterol is in vending-machine junkfood,
and how many Real Hackers eat from vending machines?  It's relevant!
But the article really should have a Followup-To: limiting it to more
appropriate subsets of the newsgroup space.
