Why?  Are these newsgroups responsible in some way for running elections?  I
fail to see why posting opinions in various related newsgroups is
'inappropriate'.  Please elucidate your reasoning for the 'statement of fact'
above.  If things had NOT been cross-posted, I, for one, would be completely
unaware of the situation which has arisen -- not all of us subscribe to
comp.org.decus.
