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

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.
