Then somebody doesn't understand crossposting. Crossposting to a few

Agreed.

I very seldom look at how many groups that a post has been crossed
posted so when I reply, everyone gets my reply (some may call it torture
<G>). Those that trim reply lists often shortchange the groups they delete.

There's a lot of good info here even though my interest is in ancient Hondas.

aggressor-victim switcheroo?? Whatever... Man, I don't know what your
problem is. None of this had anything to do with you. But I think its
definitely time to take your previous advice about the kill file. Geez!!

That's what cross-posting is for. If the original message had been
cross-posted to the appropriate groups, people who read those groups would
only have to see the message once, and all properly addressed replies would
be available in all groups of the cross-post.

Cross-posting /CAN/ be abusive. NOT cross-posting when applicable can also
be abusive.

you're damned right it had nothing to do with me!!! right up to the
point where you started bleating at me when you were really aiming at
tegger. so then you made it my business and i don't ing well like it.

> But I think its

but you're the one that made the killfile threats!!! , you don't
have the ***** to fight the fight you started, then you try to drag
other people in, but make out like the victim just because they won't
play the way you want? doesn't work in this parish bud.
