Is there a watershed point in your brain where you figure out how to
post to Usenet? maybe you should relive that moment in history; let's
iterate what you've done...
Posted an original off-topic post to several groups who don't care,
looking for support for your position (whatever that may be) or simply
to acknowledge your clever turns-of-phrase.
Didn't bother giving a proper synopsis of the subject *or* your position
so anybody who *might* be interested won't bother because they'd have to
subscribe to your group to read it.
Spelled Usenet wrong... on Usenet.
Promoted crossposting.
Big Science, btw, still depends on politics, and usage of calculus
obviously predates formal definition.
