I did not realise it had been moved till after I responded to the post, had I seen that Tony was trying to move it I would have set it back. I think it was totally inappropriate to move it, actually, and especially in what is a sort of deceptive way.... setting FUT to a group that you aren't actually posting to yourself is sort of leaving a trap for the responder... ala "my remarks are important to the group that started this thread, but YOURS aren't and in fact, I'm going to make your post out of context because I didn't copy the group I shunted you off to on what I had to say so yours will just appear there" Very bad mannered in my view.
