It is certainly possible. However, it is impolite to distort the content
of the newsgroup with inquiries that are disjoint from its topics. The
OP was either ignorant (probable) or extremely impolite. The response
tried to quietly correct the error and noted that there were cross
posted groups where it would have been appropriate.

You, on the other hand, decided that the responder was a "dummy" and
thus decided to introduce insult into the discussion.

We know what the person was asking. The complain is that the request is
inappropriate for one of the news groups being included.

rec.travel.europe is a site for discussion of travel in europe. Not
travel in other locations or discussions of politics.
