I might add a comment about that in one of the future announcements.
I'll have to think about it.

You will find however that we have on occasion made such requests
and some people have indeed gone back and removed their mis-posted
messages. However people posting in the wrong group only occurs
once in a while and once they know what the appropriate groups are
to post to do not repeat this mistake. To enforce something like
this would likely make us into the bad guys and is really not worth
us looking like we are bunch of Net Nannys.
