Yes. Long term you will probably provide an interface for members to do
this easily. Till then, no problem. I'll have my lar@voyager.net account

I stick to my original assertion. A moderated group is the "best" way to
do this. We actually need someone who uses a judgement call as to

requirements of being a followup of a post from another group, not a new
post, and not a reply to a post to it.
And, let's face it. There's no one who's a better judge of this kind of
humor than me. :-) Just ask me, I'll tell you.
