Well, there's a curious thing. I'm glad we are comparing notes,
because something very peculiar is afoot. I posted the "Building up
yer TRUST..." message only to the following 5 groups:

alt.america, alt.politics.media, uk.misc, alt.gathering.rainbow,
alt.religion.islam

I have never posted anything to misc.legal, us.legal, nor misc.taxes,
so how could the message have got in there? What's more, the messages
I post through the new google are only visible to me through the
google.interface, but none have ever never showed up on the AOL server,
in any group.

Hey! Who wants to vote for Rubin to be the Guy Who Informs People What

anything more important! Plus he's a natural at it, as you can see!
Let's get a show of votes, all in favour say aye...

It doesn't explain why I saw your posts at all, then. Perhaps
someone is impersoning you.

My conjecture as to why your messages aren't getting to AOL is
then, either (1) uk.misc has a crosspost limit, which Google is
enforcing, or (2) one of those groups is a Google group, rather
than a Usenet group, and the article is that not propogated off
Google. It used to be the case that Google didn't allow
crossposting between Google groups and Usenet groups, but
perhaps that got lost in beta.

Let's put it this way. The title has nothing to do with
the article.
