Indeed. When I first started posting to Usenet (1994?) we were told by
our BOFH that complaints about (mis)posting were unacceptable (at that
time on the corporate network). Newbies stepping in it on Usenet would
not be a very smart career move, so RTFM first, then post.

Makes you wonder: would OP also be sending unsolicited and useless
postcards in the pre-wired era (i.e. when he'd have to pay for it)?
