Yeah, there's a limit...the HTML code for the form told your browser to
limit the Newsgroups field to 100 characters. You could get around this by
saving the HTML form locally, hacking it a bit, reloading it into your
browser, and then posting. But it probably makes more sense to raise the
limit. It's now 200 characters, which would allow for up to about 11
crossposted lugnet.loc.us.xx state groups (I hope that's plenty!). The
Follow-Up to field had also been limited (30 characters) and I just widened
this to 50 characters. If there are good examples dictating that either
should be widened even more still, we can do that too.
