It might be a good idea to make the thread actually refer to something
low-carb, however, so your post doesn't get mistaken for one from The
Dark Side.

is that, when a new visitor arrives, they will see all these worthless,
predatory ads, regurgitated from the bowels of Mordor, and think that is
what alt.support.diet.low-carb is about.
I know this grates on some of you "old timers", but I think it is
necessary to keep a light in the window to let new visitors know
that support is available, if they will just ignore the dark that seeps
into the newsgroups, and post their question(s).
