I agree completely.  Another complaint of mine is that there seems to be a lot
of cross-posting between this group and r.m.s.  I read both groups, and
unfortunately my news software doesn't have any way to filter out the
duplicates.  (And no, I can't switch to rn or whatever is the current rave
software.)  C'mon folks.  Let's try and stop the cross-posting and get stuff in
the correct place.  Thanks.
