what advantage does someone have posting from Gmail or Yahoo? I didn't even
know this could be done. I figured we were all accessing some webusernet
which gave us access to about 30,000 newsgroups from which we pick and post.

Also, I wasn't referring in my question to anyone in particular. My name is
very common and I do not post my real Email since I do not want unlimited
SpamCram.
