Well, I have been very wrong in my assumptions before, but yes, I do
assume it means something:

- I assume that the OP knows of the existence of more than one
newsgroup.

- I assume the OP knows how to locate different newsgroups, either via
search or some directory like yahoo, and is able to think about which
one he wants to post to and why.

- I assume that he is comfortable with the process of posting.  In
fact, looking at the stats, about half as comfortable as mensanator,
and over 18 times as comfortable as me ;-)

Of course, I could be all wet in my assumptions, and it may just be
that the OP has a cat constantly walking back and forth across his
keyboard...

Regards,
Pat
