I thought you were more Usenet-savvy and self-disciplined than that. I
was wrong.

As it turns out, none of the groups posted to were particularly
relevant. (alt.comp.hardware, alt.video.dvd, alt.video.dvd.tech,
rec.video.dvd.tech, rec.video.dvd.players)

Even if they WERE all relevant, a person can nearly always choose one
group that is _most_ relevant, and simply post there.
