        True, with a caveat : You need a posting profile for each one you 
post to, and you have to watch the From: line to make sure you pick an 
appropriate one. (Yes, Pan will complain if you don't; but unless you 
already have the profiles, it may bewilder you. Hint : one way to do this 
is to use signature files you already have, but rename them to 
accommodate the news server in Pan's name for the profile.)
