Type the name of one or more newsgroups to which you wish to post an article.
If you want to post to multiple newsgroups, it is better to do them all at
once than to post to each newsgroup individually, which defeats the news
reading programs' strategies of eliminating duplicates.

Separate multiple newsgroup names with commas.

Your local distribution prefixes are:
    Local organization:	$loc
    Organization:		$org
    City:			$city
    $stpr:  		$state
    Country:		$cntry
    Continent:		$cont

The Distribution line may be used to limit the distribution of an article
to some subset of the systems that would receive the article based only on
the Newsgroups line.  For example, if you want to sell your car in talk.auto,
and you live in New Jersey, you might want to put "nj" on the Distribution
line to avoid advertising in California, which has enough problems of its own.
The actual area designators to use depend on where you are, of course.

Type the title for your article.  Please make it as informative as possible
(within reason) so that people who aren't interested won't have to read the
article to find out they aren't interested.  This includes marking movie
spoilers as (spoiler), and rotated jokes as (rot 13).
