You receive Email from one of your employees, demanding the following
newsgroups be added:

comp.os.linux,alt.sex.*,alt.binaries.*,talk.politics.misc,alt.fan.monty-python,
comp.databases.*,rec.bicycles.

(Incidentally, the same he read at his former employer's machine with
full feed.)

You would not look at their names, contents, or remember the name of
the employee who sent the mail, you simply would add them, right?
