Mea culpa, I usually mention that other newsgroups were snipped. I snip for two reasons. The most important one is that I refuse to encourage flamage, which is apparently the intent of many original posts. The second is that Thunderbird refuses to send to more than one newsserver at a time. Since I have no way of knowing (without spending far more time than is warranted) which groups come from which servers, I snip the ones I'm not involved in. I do apologize for not giving notice, though. -- Cheers, Bev Todd Flanders' hobbies include being quiet on long rides, clapping to songs and diabetes.
