My single cross-post was made because it was primarily intended for
readers here on ASC, and because I think it made perfect sense
regardless of the original content of the thread. While I also
posted it to alt.smokers because I was not sure where the
_specific_ person I was replying to was posting from, I generally
think of this as the most appropriate NG of the two for thoughtful
comments.

While I've already explained this in a reply to a private e-mail
sent by TedR, I thought it important to explain my reasoning
publically.

Usenet has always been a bit of a minefield, with irritated souls
popping up to complain about this or that regardless of the degree
of "netiquette" on display. Nevertheless, I apologize if I've
offended anyone by posting as I did.

This was a very nice gesture, David. Much appreciated.

Me, too.

Yeah, just don't make the further mistake of engaging in "me too"
posting.
:-)


Yeah. What he said.
