I see two possibilities: 1) You're a troll trying to start a flame. 2) You don't understand how Usenet works. (Assume #2) Sometimes, particularly in "alt" groups such as alt.home.repair, people (read: "trolls") will post missives that have little or nothing to do with the topic. If you choose to flame and spew at these posters, then (1) *you* are off topic. The topic of your group is home repair, not "What is the topic of this newsgroup?" (2... and more importantly) all you will accomplish is to encourage that type of posting, since that's precisely the objective. The person doing the cross posting is hoping for *exactly* that reaction. Some "newsgroups" exist for the single purpose of trolling other groups, for example, alt.sports.soccer.manchester.united.scum-haters is one such. They like it when you "flood" them. It's kinda like suing a lawyer or pissing on a skunk. The best approach is to ignore that kind of thing... unless, of course, you're a troll. Jones
