Judging by the "forum" contents [1], it looks like they've bastardized
the entire Usenet into a keyword search.  They appear to be taking any
post with a key word in the subject and then creating forums based on
a subsets of key words [2].  I don't know if they can inject an
original posts into the group, but it appears that they will inject
any posts made at the "forum" into Usenet groups. I wonder what the
crosspost limit is... ;-)
