   DON'T APPROVE YOUR OWN ARTICLES -- unless you want to be flamed to
   a crisp. :-)

I think blackcat's question was in reference to alt.hackers, where the
posting procedure is slightly different (and perhaps a bit more
difficult to figure out) than the procedure for most moderated groups.

The folks who created alt.hackers thought it would be a cute idea.
