- Thanks. I appreciate that. I crosspost the articles to both groups
- on purpose.

- I've already posted a few times asking if I should continue to crosspost
- and so far have had 1 reply (not including this) saying that they'd like
- me to no longer crosspost, but have had more than a dozen responses from
- those who want me to continue to crosspost to both groups.
-
- In any case, I plan to stop crossposting to both groups once the new
- Fidonet echo is set up (should be very soon now) and once the new group
- has wider distribution. I'll also make a seperate mailing list (or
- a new channel on the current mailing list) that will echo c.o.l.a, for
- those who are getting the current group in mail digest format.
-
- Good enough?
