You are absolutely correct, Jerome. However, with a little further
searching, the poster could have found the group that has the .mac in the
name, which would have gotten him/her a faster answer.
I would suggest that when folks search the vast hierarchy of
microsoft.public.xxx, that they start with the smallest common denominator
first and work their way up. So, by searching for .mac, they would get all
the mac groups. Office is a pretty big category to start with though.
Besides, we know that Cass has a hair trigger when it comes to off-posts
