In the hopefully rare cases of this being necessary, I'd suggest that the poster sends the message separately to each of the lists involved, which should cut down the multiple copies of replies. The downside is that it will also fragment discussion. I recall that jmb (I think) has already mentioned a cross-posting limit of 2 lists. Reducing it to 1 (perhaps with the exception of a very small and select group of posters) would enforce this. -- Adrian Wontroba, Stade Computers Limited. phone: (+44) 121 681 6677 Mail info@accu.org for information about the Association of C and C++ Users or see <http://www.accu.org/>; To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
