Obviously your standard is not so standard. 2) I placed a very clear notice at the bottom of my post(s). Many people would consider that a clue as to my desire to receive multiple copies of the same document. 3) Perhaps it is only me; however, most of the major lists that I employ all require a registration by the poster prior to being allowed to post. 4) I have seen several posts where the OP requested to be CC'd because they were not registered members of the list. Obviously, they were aware of the necessity of being CC'd or reading the archives in order to review any posts to their request. Now, is someone is just so plain stupid that they are not aware of that simple fact, then they are too stupid to be posting to begin with. 5) If you noticed, I asked Odhiambo very nicely not to include me in a CC. I am sure he meant well; however, the inevitable destruction of electrons in the transmission of the superfluous document could have been avoided. -- Carmel ✌ carmel...@hotmail.com Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
