Another posting-styles question

I want to define a set of posting-style "macros" along the lines of:

    (setq
     posting-style-generic   '(signature-file "~/.signature")
     posting-style-technical '(signature-file "~/.signature-technical"))

and then use them in my Group Parameters like:

    ((posting-style
      (posting-style-technical)
      (Organization "The Strauser Group")))

but I can't seem to make the syntax work.  The sticking point is when I want
to make a "macro" with multiple entries.  Could someone boot me in the right
direction?

If you use `gnus-parameters' you can do something like:

(add-to-list 'gnus-parameters 
	     `("some.group" (posting-style
			     ,posting-style-technical
			     (organization "The Strauser Group"))))

For multiple entries you need to splice the list in with ,@ -- see
