Gene Ward Smith and Lawrence Watt-Evans both posted recent messages in
rec.arts.sf.written, suggesting to "kitty" that
rec.arts.sf.composition would be a suitable group for posting his or
her stories. See messages
1145470305.617841.8420@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and
gdvc42tvtdo725h7apu2aitmg85bilgghl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx I suspect that this
was a misunderstanding on their part of the purpose of this newsgroup,
rather than misleading "kitty".

Er, didn't Watt-Evans use to hang round here? I don't think he's
confused, and I suspect Smith has his own reasons for causing trouble--
or perhaps you weren't around for the latest epidemic of cross-posting.

I also doubt that Lawrence Watt-Evans was confused. The posting he answered
on r.a.sf.w began "I'm looking for a place to get help with some stories
I've written." To which "Try rec.arts.sf.composition." was a reasonable
response. The r.a.sf.w thread went on to give sensible advice about
r.a.sf.c, all ignored by "kitty".
