Yes, I am guilty of such a thing once (maybe more), cross-post responding. I 
realized it only after seeing the same thing in another area along with my 
reply. I now take a look at the Newsgroups heading on the message or my reply.
Speaking of which, this one has 2: povray.general,povray.newusers, so... ahem! 
wake up "admin team"! heh-heh-heh.
I hereby drop the second "newusers" from this myself.

Oops, on 2nd attempt maybe... I forgot to remove the "povray.newusers" first 
and had to cancel the first try. Must be why 'no reply at all' idea was said.
