Recently an article was posted to the newsgroups soc.culture.indian,
soc.culture.china, soc.culture.arabic, soc.culture.celtic,
soc.culture.greek, soc.culture.japan, soc.culture.jewish, and
soc.net-people, evidently in the attempt to ensure that no newsreader
missed the message, whatever his or her nationality. 

The subject was the upcoming IEEE PRESIDENT-ELECT ELECTION. The
original posting appears to have been a campaign statement of one of
the candidates. The second poster, in his zeal, made a bid for high
placement on the Poskanzer (sp?) Honor Roll, but somehow only managed
to think of eight newsgroups to crosspost to.

What site could be so blatantly ignorant of net.rules as to
cross-re-post 180 lines of personal advertisement to seven soc.culture
groups? Was it Portal? Was it a BITNET site? Was it
brahms.berkeley.edu? Let's have a look at the sig:

Ahhh, that explains it. Looks like the AT&T news-user education
program needs a remedial section.
