You are correct.  A beef with a particular article should be handled
by mail.  What I should have done was mail your a short complaint about
your article, and posted an article under a new title about the cross
postings.  Sorry about directing a general flame at a particular article.

It sounds like it istime for someone to make a 'ne' distribution 
for New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, etc.  Could someone over 
in that area create such a distribution?  Or merge all those 
little states into one proper state :-)

Can Mac owners come too?  Why not post to net.micro.mac then?  How about
IBM PC owners?  Why not cross post to net.micro.pc?  Most users groups I
have heard of allow anyone to come.  Is the NJAUG different?  What would
happen to the net if everyone with a users group posted announcements of
meetings to every other net.micro.* group?

Are you saying that proto-simian blobs are not part of the general public?
I am going to have to call the ACLU or the ALF to deal with you! :-)

ps: ignore the mail I just sent you about this.  I have been having
mailer problems, so it probably won't get to you.  Even if it does,
it really doesn't say anything not said in this article.
