Irrelevant, given that I didn't say you did.  I was referring to the
newsgroup from which your posting to this thread originated.

You apparently also read comp.os.linux.advocacy.

I wasn't trying to reach you at all.  I was simply explaining why my
response to your posting went to the same newsgroups as indicated in
the newsgroups line of your article.
