One can understand posting to alt.sex.stories, where even worse writing
can be found (and some that's quite a bit better). And misc.writing is a
newsgroup where writings can hope to find constructive criticism. But
it's hard to see how this piece of doggerel wold relate to Italian
culture, the study of history, other disciplies such as mythology,
archaeology, anthropology, or the humanities.

Looks like an ego trip: "I must post to every newsgroup I can think of
because my words are so important". Sigh. Another one of those idiots.
So Quirk favour everyone in:

tor.general (Yes, he lives in Toronto, I'm ashamed to admit)
soc.culture.italian
alt.history
soc.history,
alt.mythology
alt.revisionism
sci.archaeology
sci.anthropology
sci.classics
humanities.classics
alt.slack

Another oaf using the internet for vanity publishing.
