Sigh.

He suspects that you are counting on a few people to overlook the change in
the Newsgroups header. It happens not through stupidity but simple
oversight. You know that and I know that and Larry knows that.

I've seen it happen and have no doubt you have too. The classic trick used
to be to add misc.test so that anyone responding who wasn't paying
attention would get auto-responder e-mails they weren't expecting. But in
an age of constant spam, that old trick is like spitting into the ocean.
(Plus the number of autoresponders is down to one or two I think.)

Say - you could always try to fight your own fights rather than trying to
drag in hounds from other groups.

Go ahead and deny part or all of above - it wont change what I think. And
oh yeah, you'll say you don't care what I think. But if that were true you
wouldn't even be posting to a discussion group. The whole point of posting
anything at all to a discussion group is presumably because you "care" in
some sense (even if it might be a perverse one) in how people think and
respond to the postings.

Sigh.
