Clue, bunny wabbit: here's the distribution:

Newsgroups: la.general,co.general,in.general,oh.general,ca.general,dc.general,alt.peeves,nyc.general,seattle.general,chi.general

Looks like a load of *.general groups and alt.peeves.

Spot the odd one out.

What do you think the likelihood is that, while this thread is relevent to
the *.general groups, it _isn't_ relevent in alt.peeves?

Followups set accordingly.
