That's probably because people recognized that that post was appropriate for
each of those newsgroups.

I find it very disrepsctful to snip out Eric's very heartfelt story about how
he came to find others who share his hobby as 'whatever'. Eric has very good
habits as far as posting goes; this one one was important enough to him though
that he wanted to share it with all of the newsgroups to which he posted.
This was a wonderful account of how Eric, after many years of searching, found
a way to connect with people like himself, who shared a passion for Lego. I'm
sorry that it didn't warm your heart, as it did mine, and undoubtedly others;
but next time, please be a little more respectful when someone shares such a
personal experience with the Lugnet community. A private email or reminder
would have served to relay your message equally well.
