   I disagree.  Postings to gnu.g++.help automatically forwarded to
   comp.lang.c++.  Contrary to claims, Len does not have any special
   editorial perogatives on comp.lang.c++.

For the few of you (I apologize to the rest of you for wasting the
bandwidth) who haven't added microsoft!jimad to your kill files, and
read as "literally" as he does (assuming that is his problem).

You should read my original qualification:
	[ I run this list for those who don't know.  -len ]
as:
	[ I run this list help-g++@prep.ai.mit.edu (aka gnUSENET
	  newsgroup gnu.g++.help) for those who don't know.  I do not
	  run the newsgroup comp.lang.c++, that gets a one way feed
	  from help-g++@prep.ai.mit.edu.  You are all welcome to do
	  whatever you see as wise in comp.lang.c++, but we ask that
	  you respect the following for the list
	  help-g++@prep.ai.mit.edu (aka gnUSENET newsgroup
	  gnu.g++.help) -len
	]
This is what I meant, and what I expect almost all of you understood.

Apologies again for wasting bandwidth here, but I'm hoping its a way
to save some down the road.

Now back to your regularly scheduled technical discussions.  ;-}
