The only /actual/ distinctions among newsgroups are moderated vs
unmoderated and those allowing message deletion vs those not. Anything
else is just community preference. I can be polite and respect your
preference crossposting to your community from mine like this, but in no

So which of these newsgroups do you claim as your own, and
plain-text-only, your majesty?
