- As was noted some time before, if you send an article to
- both cs.general, whose distribution area is local,
- AND something more global like comp.unix.questions,
- then it will appear in cs.general on all machines that
- accept comp.unix.questions along with (their local) cs.general,
- as far as the title (demanding its appearance in cs.general) remains.
-
- This is really unix.question :-)
-
- Maybe, the simplest cure is not to couple the groups.
