Groups trimmed.

Not to take sides (I have no idea who "Bev" is and her reply was certainly
not appropriate), but the "news.announce.newusers" Usenet FAQ reads, in
part: "Usually, it is sufficient to post any article to a single newsgroup;
the
one that's most relevant to the subject of your article. If the article
is really relevant to multiple newsgroups, then "cross-post" to the
relevant newsgroups by posting the article only once with all newsgroups
named on the "Newsgroups" header line. " While not recommended,
cross-posting is not automatically unacceptable. One could quibble about
the OP's choice of newsgroups (why "real-ale" and not AFBarbecue or RFC?),
but at least a couple of the groups are appropriate.
