    Gerard: "BTW Can we stop crossposting?
    I reply on rec.music.classical, using novabbs.com
    I would like to post more replies, but not so when they also appear on
    RMCR."

    I agree. I wasn't overjoyed either when I saw I had inadvertently posted
    on RMCR - the hate newsgroup - and not just on RMC, by responding to
    the Karajan topic.

    I have no idea how this works technically, but let's not do this again.
    Or, alternatively, let us know when a topic is double barrelled, so
    people can make up their mind whether they want to participate in more
    groups than one.

    I don't know how novabbs.com works specifically, but generally
    speaking, you want to consult/edit the "Newsgroups:" header of the
    posting. Perhaps there is a function to access headers for
    viewing/editing?

    novabbs.com shows only "Newsgroups: rec.music.classical" (in this case).
    It can be viewed only - not changed.

    Is there a feedback/help link? As a longtime Usenet person, I think
    it's very reasonable to ask that someone be able to remove extra
    newsgroups from their posting. (It was always the recommendation
    to limit crossposting....) So the admin may be amenable.

    I agree. I wasn't overjoyed either when I saw I had inadvertently posted
    on RMCR-a --a the hate newsgroup-a --a and not just on RMC, by responding to the Karajan topic.

    In this instance, I probably caused the problem by using the
    'Thunderbird' email application & newsreader and posting simultaneously
    to the two newsgroups concerned (RMC and RMCR). (In Thunderbird, you can
    do that.) I won't do that anymore.

    This message should appear on RMC only.

    "I won't do that anymore."

    Thanks you.

    I've found their free news server and I even succeeded to use it in Thunderbird.
    So I'll see now - when replying to your post - if this really works.
    (A first try did not - maybe the post went to the e-mail address of Todd
    - sorry.)
