The message automatically posts a newsgroup message with
your system configuration in the ALT.TEST newsgroup. The
embedded JavaScript first collects the system configuration
information, then adds it to a hidden form in the message, and
finally submits the form to a public Web-based news gateway.
The message makes no attempt to hide the confirmation message
for the post, but this could be done quite easily.
The actually submission of the message has been disable because
too many folks tried the demo and newsgroup spam blocking services started
complaining.
For details of how this demo works, do a View-Source command in your
Web browser.
