No. The only readers will be those in the group that *I* am reading, and those are the only ones I'm concerned with. It's sufficient to say "other groups snipped". If anyone is interested they can look at previous postings. >> I snip for two reasons.

However it is possible that your newsserver (Eternal > September) limits the number of groups in a crosspost. AFAIK, 4 is a > common limit. The OP was crossposted to 5 groups. No idea, but I take TB's word for it. It doesn't make sense to me either. Next time I'll try x-posting to all of them and quote the exact error message. >> I do apologize for not giving notice, though. > > No worries, just pay attention on the crosswalk when I'm approaching! Always! Well, you have to actually be IN it, not just approaching. -- Cheers, Bev "Attention: All virgins report to Paradise immediately!! This is not a drill." --MWilliams
