Woops. Cancel sent to previous message crossposted to s.c.n,
sci.a and s.h.m.

(*This* followup is posted to sci.arch only)

I guess I accidentally illustrated a point there - if all of
us *try* to cut down on crossposted follupups and are upfront
about where we *intend* to post, then someone might tell us
when we slip up and accidentally crosspost to heck and back,
and we can try to fix that.

Sorry about crossposting my followup intended for s.c.n to
several other newsgroups.

Smile,
Stein
