Kevin - I hate to point out ettiquette matters, but in some cases it
matters. In this case, a simple FUT-->lugnet.where.ever is what you forgot
in your reply. I only noticed this fact long after I'd replied to your
post - my newsreader DOES show where posts go, but in very small text, and
since I don't have need to keep track of where they're going I have to
assume they go where I found them, UNLESS someone tells me otherwise OR I
notice that they have been redirected. (Not often, since I've usually got
no reason to check.)
