True, but what I had in mind were other newsgroups where someone asks a
practical question and the thread soon devolves into a chat room. In the
case of Web-related NG's, this could also lead to harsh critique of the OP's
Web site. One's language is rarely an issue. That would be just cruel
because it's a direct personal attack. This related to distinguishing
between an attack on race and an attack on a religion.
Anyhoo...
