[stuff about rolex deleted] Come off it, will you! I read this group to read about macs, not watches. Crosspost somwhere else, or rather not at all - misc.forsale ought to suffice! koenig@pelle.tdb.uu.se Karl-Koenig Koenigsson Dept. of Scientific Computing, Uppsala University, Sweden

You complain about cross-posting in a cross-posting and then you set the follow-up to the group you don't want the articles in. I read this group for forsale post. I couldn't care less about a mac group. Its obvious that the guy posting the rolex watch was following up an article in misc.forsale that was cross-posted to some mac group. Sending a message directly to him saying you goofed would have sufficed. The original poster goofed when he set the to and follow-up to fields. Chill out and think before you post.

You never give the poor slob a break, harping about not wanting to see his selling messages in comp.sys.mac, all the while cross posting to misc.forsale, where we expect to see items for sale and don't want to see your belly-aching! If your going to complain about crossposts, why not take the time to edit your own message so that you don't break your own rules?

Now I'm of Canadian extraction, last week I was Czech, etc? What does being Finnish have to do with this?
