   Let's say you're on another group, say, alt.butt.scratching just for 
example.  And while reading the posts, you see a sig.  You would like an 
easy way to show it to us here, without saving it, quiting from a.b.s, 
going to r.a.a, starting a post, inserting the sig, quiting your 
newsreader, deleting the sig, etc.

   It's easy, just follow-up the article, change the name in the 
newsgroup line from alt.butt.scratching to rec.arts.ascii.  Then delete 
all the extraneous stuff from the post, leaving the sig.  Add any 
commentary you think appropriate, and send it.

And for those using the newsreader "tin", you can use the x (crosspost
article) command.  It then prompts for the newsgroup to repost the
article to and adds attribution but no extra indenting like a followup
would.  You also have an option to edit the message before posting it.

(The naming of the command is a seperate issue.)
