Thanks.  I hadn't realised that misc.news.internet.discuss had been
designated as follows.  It's a useful distinction.

"Misc.News.Internet.Discuss: sciences other than computer science,
discussion of website practices (discussion of the practices of social
networking sites, for example), issues of privacy/security,
entertainment (such as video games), and other subjects not directly
related to computers."
