Though this case uses other email lists to accomplish the same goals, it's still similar to posting a big flaming troll to one group (like posting recipes to alt.rec.cats) while setting the "follow-up" header to someplace else, so all replies pollute another group. All the idiots that reply, flood the second group. JCR
