Since when is it my job to keep track of who has you killfiled?

Um, no. No, it doesn't "beg the question." It might raise the
question, but begging the question is something altogether different.
It is also a concept that should be familiar to anyone who has even
walked past a classroom in which logic was being taught.

I think the question is "Why did I post from google?" The answer is,
"Because Nick's post no longer exists in my newsreader, so I had to go
to google to find the post and to verify that he is deeply, deeply
confused about the difference between crossposting and setting
follow-ups to a single group."
My posting address remains unchanged; anyone wishing to killfile me
can do so quite easily. You're not so clue-deprived that you think
anyone is killfiling me based on the Path or Organization headers, are
you?
