If each of us would take the time to prepare a short letter like this: "Please take the time to use the "Followup-To" directive when responding to this notestring to take the discussion out of comp.sys.amiga. You are obviously not interested in the Amiga, and this Mac vs IBM discussion is not appropriate to comp.sys.amiga. Thank you, <user-sig>" Then just mail this form-letter to everyone who posts on the subject in comp.sys.amiga. If people over there receive twenty or thirty polite requests every time they do this they'll eventually comprehend. Of course you can always flame them, but I don't think they'll respond to that. Responses that are limited to comp.sys.amiga will never reach them, since they are cross-posting from the other groups (and probably never read comp.sys.amiga). Most likely the majority are unaware that their response is being automatically cross-posted by the software. Let's enlighten them. --Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- {uunet,sun}!convex!swarren; swarren@convex.COM
