Davémon,

Couldn't you have set a proper notice that you crossposted and set a
follow up to another group than alt.html? And why choose
alt.design.graphics to follow up to? This is definately a markup issue and
has nothing to do with adg.
Had I noticed sooner that you set a follow up, I wouldn't have posted a
reply or would have removed that upappropriate group altogehter.
