What if you could somehow post something that went everywhere but
your local site?

- Nothing prevents someone from quoting your article and your
  comments would come back to haunt you, most likely out of
  context.

- Nothing prevents people at your company from calling a Public
  Access site.  (Lots of people who get technical groups at work
  depend on systems like this for alt, for instance.)

USENET gets information to a large number of people in a short
amount of time.  Secrecy is not its intent!
