Huffed and Puffed the following
into the madness of usenet:

Hi All

I'm spending far too much time sitting in front of a
computer, and starting to repeat myself boringly endlessly
as well - so it's time for a break.

I've decided to unsubscribe on Monday morning (tomorrow) and
see you all again in a month or two when we have a new crop
of newbies to cajole and persuade and inform. I'll hang
around on the quieter a.s.d.uk a little longer just to keep
in touch.

So, in case it's longer than that, thanks to each and every
one of you. Too many to name. I honestly believe that you
wonderful people on m.h.d and a.s.d have saved my life -
even the ones I argued with caused me to think, learn and
research more. You should all be proud of yourselves for
keeping these groups going.

We may argue, and get bitchy, go OT and be trolled and
spammed - but in amongst all that is diabetes advice at the
cutting edge if you take the time to look for it. And some
great, caring, people.

Be proud of yourselves.

'bye all

Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.



It was the roopoo website, wasn't it, the straw that broke the aussi
camel's back?



It's not an official break unless you go offline completely for the
whole month. Walk away from the computer and go on wlak about. You
can do it. No, leave the lap top and palm pilot, no PSPs, no mobile
email devices, just you, the winnebago and the open road.....

Don't stay away too long!
Although I don't post often, I read regularly and your posts are ones
I always read. I know how much you helped me when I first found ASD
after being diagnosed and still did after I was undiagnosed (is that a
word?).
Anyway, enjoy life and be well.
Regards and best wishes.

I posted the note below on alt.support.diabetes as it just "appeared out of
the blue" there. Then I noticed that when I send a message from this
newsgroup it goes to that newsgroup and one other. Is there any way I can
make it show up just here, apart from physically deleting the other 2
addresses in the "to" box?

Hi Judanne

Usually by "physically deleting the other 2 addresses in the
"to" box"

It depends on your newsreader. For example, in Agent I can
set the options to alert me when posts are cross-posted when
I reply. Howevwer, I always look in the "To" or "Newsgroups"
field because there are many posters who deliberately
cross-post and your reply will go to all those groups if you
don't adjust it.

Cross-posting is not always bad - in fact I think the one in
question was my own:-) However, it is a tactic often used by
trolls for maximum annoyance of the maximum number.

Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

Not if you are answering a crossposted message (as far as I
am aware).

Always watch your headers and delete unwanted groups from your To: line,
it's the only way to avoid accidental crossposting.
