I'm just adding nanau to the list of newsgroups here because I think this
needs to be seen over there.


Alrighty then.

Why?

The original message was posted to *one* newsgroup (rec.radio.broadcasting) -
unless it was multiposted to other groups that I didn't catch. As far as the
URL is concerned, I post RRB submissions manually and don't typically bother
checking URLs. The subject matter of the CafePress site to which the original
URL forwards is NOT off-topic for rec.radio.broadcasting. I'll grant that it
doesn't seem to actually be anything besides a cheap effort to sell T-shirts,
but it wasn't off-topic.

What am I missing here?
