as you posted the same question to two different newsgroups where in one
you may have gotten a reply which solved it and in the other you may not
have gotten a reply until much later on, but since it was already solved
it wasted the person's time in the second newsgroup... whereis if you
do the alt.html, other.newsgroup thing everybody sees all replies
