Which they are.  I mean, sad to say, that's the only purpose for newsgroups
these days:  A source for 57 million fresh e-mail addresses for MLMs to
sell. :-(

In other mailing lists, one can write [NONEWS] in one's heading to keep
one's post (and therefore email address) out of the newsgroups.  Would this
be easy/feasible/hard with majordomo?
