Oof -- gosh it's hard to be 'tongue-in-cheek' without 'body language' ;-)

I don't mean to aggrevate the innocent on info-mac just because a few send
shotgun replies without thinking.  I wouldn't find it untoward for anyone
inclined to do so to send everyone who posts one of those obviously for the
mac-list replies an "innocent query" :-) saying "Didn't you mean to send this
to info-mac???? (acting as if you're unaware of how many lists the comment has
been cross-posted to already -- the LISTSERV on BITNET does remove the
newsgroups line entirely, so we really can't tell wherelse USENET originated
messages have been posted.
