Microsoft, Macromedia, Adobe all have people posting in usenet.

very limited yes. but there are many places on usenet that talk about diet
and others that talk about health. there are also hundreds if no thousands
of other places on the internet.
lets face it. it doesnt take much time to go into a group and spam while
looking like you are just a member.

isnt true.

its pretty easy to know what the replies will be for the following question.
