But folks.. this message is cross-posted heavily -- another problem. Please allow this thread to die or shorten the newsgroup list considerably. The thought has been echoed many times.

Anytime you see a heavily-cross-posted message such as this one: (a) please don't automatic-flame the sender {it's more spam}, but (b) please shorten the list, or decide if it deigns to have a reply at all.
