Thank you for sharing that with *ALL* of us that haven't killfiled xposts 
to phl.misc yet, Joe.  It was ... special.

I'm sure it got started off with a spam that didn't belong in any of 
'em.  But your apparently private message doesn't belong on 'em, either.

>Please edit your newsgroups in future posts. Thank you.

While I applaud your effort to reduce massively crossposted threads, I 
have a couple of Constructive Suggestions:

1.  Reduce the newsgroups you post to, or get a newsreader that allows 
you to reset followups.  (I've massively snipped the follows for this 
article.)  You have posted in a way that perpetuates the bad crosspost.

2.   Email works nicely for personal responses.  (This reply has been 
posted AND mailed.)  

And I also have a Polite Request for those in the Posting Audience:  
Please, please, please be careful about crossposting.  About anything 
with this number of groups is bound to be trouble, and I imagine there 
are folks in newsgroups besides phl.misc who don't want to see this 
thread any more.  There is the very real chance that your post will be 
seriously off-topic and/or unwelcome in a group you're not reading - for 
instance, I've seen people use these spam-posts newsgroups line to 
post personal ads, and personal ads are off-charter and unwelcome in 
two of the groups I'm seeing this in.  (If you already know this, I 
apologize for taking your time).  Please take a moment or two to edit 
your Newsgroups or Followup-to lines.  

If you need more info about why crossposting should be approached with 
extreme caution, please refer to the postings in news.announce.newusers.
(Anyone who wants to respond with "censorship" or "First Amendment" 
arguments is kindly invited to read the US Constitution and reread my 
post.  Have a nice day.)

Many thanks,

CLB
