Um, yes, well, I'm actually trying to encourage non-lisp-programmers
to use Gnus, and I feel pretty silly telling them this bit.  I really
think it's better to have one function that reads from a single
modifiable data file (as Shuhei's code does), rather than having to
write new code for every authenticated foreign server you decide to
read news on.

  "'Family purity' is the corpus of laws relating to not having
   relations with women from the time they see blood until they immerse
   in a body of non-drawn water of at least 40 se'ah, unless it's a
   spring or stream.  Once the 40 se'ah are accumulated, drawn water may
   be added.  This is why religious dialogue only goes so far --
   Christians speak about theology and Jews talk about what happens if
   drawn water gets poured into a body of water accidentally."
