Default A word about trolling (Was: My Favorite FANTASTIC Wine!)

["Followup-To:" header set to sci.bio.food-science *not* sci.chem.]

A lot of this trolling is a disturbance but when one does a cross-posting it
is good to set a "Followup-To:" to header so that subsequent replies go to a
specific group.

Apparently, one troll tactic that was successful was to have you initiate
cross-posting on a troll related topic with no "Followup-To:" to disparate
groups (rec.crafts.winemaking, sci.chem). Killfile the the troll and be done
with it and just snicker about s/h/it (not to it) if it morphs, etc.

In the meantime, if you have a post that doesn't have to do with chemistry
then please leave sci.chem off your cross-posting agenda.
