Hi,

Sorry for this somewhat off-topic subject which I'm not sure where to
post -
I've FUT to off-topic.geek.

Didier - please do NOT set a FUT to off-topic.geek unless someone
specifically asks you to - it screws me up when I post something to a
newsgroup as I usually expect the reply to go to the group I originally
found it in.  If you push FUT to off-topic.geek, I might ask where my post
went to because I don't see it showing up where I originally posted, and I
expect that to happen, not to find out it went to another newsgroup.

Hi Geoffrey,

I'm afraid I have to disagree with you here. What Didier probably should have
done was post the original to both .general and .off-topic.geek but it is up to
the original poster to set the FUT with consideration to where the responses
should go.

The responded can always read the followup-to settings in their newsbrowser and
should double check to see that it is going where they would like it to go (if
this differs from the original poster). I believe that the mistake about double
posting and not seeing resposnses is yours. Either way the onus is on the first
poster to make sure they are set appropriately AND the responders to make sure
they know where it's going.

Tim
