hello everybody !
i'm one of the poor lads who are subscribed to *both* l-a-d and l-s.
somehow it seems to have become fashionable to crosspost everything.
but this is not usenet, most mail readers *do not* erase duplicates,
and each messages is actually carried and displayed twice.
moreover, it works around my mail filters and makes my folders go
haywire !
this is really a drag, apart from being a huge waste of bandwidth.
imho, crossposting is inappropriate for the majority of messages
that showed up lately.
if you definitely think your message has to go to both groups,
specify *one* return address in your initial posting and carry on
with the discussion in either group, but not both !
please think about this.
yours
jörn
ps: forgive me this one time. i know i have sinned. i shall never
cc: again. >;->
