Well, I have to disagree there - this particular newsgroup was not only made
for the explicit discussion of kooks, and a while ago, too. It also takes
something to get elected "kook of the year", not to mention "kook of the
millenium". So that is decidedly not the same as quoting random posts, which
indeed *could* under specific circumstances be unfair and/or lead to legal
trouble.
