Of course not, but we can still fantasize if we want to :-)

Mea culpa, I usually mention that other newsgroups were snipped.

I snip for two reasons.  The most important one is that I refuse to 
encourage flamage, which is apparently the intent of many original 
posts.  The second is that Thunderbird refuses to send to more than one 
newsserver at a time.  Since I have no way of knowing (without spending 
far more time than is warranted) which groups come from which servers, I 
snip the ones I'm not involved in.

I do apologize for not giving notice, though.
