But the really interesting thing (for me at least; I am easily pleased) is
that you keep bumping into the same people in different newsgroups. Birds
of a feather, I guess, but I see some regulars from here in a newsgroup for
notebook PCs, and then there is crossover from that newsgroup to the
alt.porsche group... it's that whole "six degrees of separation" thing
happening.
