Well, I won't pass judgement so strongly on the unfortunate poster.

I just hope there isn't anything subliminal in the poster's mistake;
thinking comp.sys.cdc is a newsgroup for discussion of compact discs
is either as Sean has it, or the unfortunate lack of public perception
of the three-letter acronym CDC.  I give you that the poster would not
have made the same mistake for a comp.sys.ibm being a newsgroup devoted
to discussion of something other than the computer systems produced by
International Business Machines.

BTW, DAH, how'z MIPS?
