Todd,
I think I caused a little faux-pas. I responded to someone's posting in
lugnet.general, and since I felt it was something for the FAQ,
cross-posted to lugnet.faq.
Now anyone who does a respond-all will post a message to both groups,
when it would most likely be applicable to just one.
Hindsight being an exact science, I realize I should've probably set the
followup-to to lugnet.general. (1) However, now that it's already
happened, is there any way I can correct my mistake?
Cheers,
- jsproat
1. Another question: How can I set the followup-to when posting a
message via e-mail?

In this case, since someone has already replied, you wouldn't want to go back and cancel it or else (...) (26 years ago, 26-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
