I am of course aware of that, but unlike Mr. Gibbs I won't
killfile you for pointing it out (and then blame
"how far we've fallen" for my own intolerance).
It's unfortunate that there's no header that notes the group you're
reading/subscribed to when you post; if there were, I think we would
see a lot more people setting followup-to to the "originating" group.
