Steph, if you're wondering where this reply went to, Tim sets his newsgroup
"followup" field to the breast cancer newsgroup.
(which is essentially an "exchange-ender" with you doctors, since if he replies
to your reply, you won't see it either on your newsgroup)

I cannot fathom why he does that, since I would think alt.support.cancer.breast
readers would appreciate input from you (doctors), madiba and Peter Moran.

So when replying to Tim, one has to readd (group) sci.med.diseases.cancer in the
"to/group" field of the message address.
Or breast cancer readers, click on or add news:sci.med.diseases.cancer if you
wish to continue the exhanges on that newsgroup.
