<full cross-posting resumed.>

However, when participating in a conversation which already spans several groups and is engaging persons from those groups (as opposed to a narrow topic which one might appropriately ***ume doesn't hold the slightest interest for those additional groups), it is proper to include all cross-posted groups in any replies.

Otherwise, replies to your posts make no sense. You may have noticed, in earlier cross-posted discussions, the difficulties this leads to when information that is pertinent to the discussion at hand is no longer seen by all participants.

Whether you believe in m***ive cross-posting or not is your business. But if you choose to participate in a m***ively cross-posted conversation, then it is only proper that you continue the cross-posting. Otherwise, the effect is not unlike "taking it private"--continuing a conversation via email, rather than in the NG itself. There are times when taking it private or reducing cross-posting to minimum are appropriate actions, but I wouldn't consider this conversation one of them.

In any case, four groups is hardly "m***ive cross-posting", and your accusation that Robear's including your content in his reply will somehow mis-represent you or your beliefs is ludicrous, Tedd. Your posts don't appear in the other groups you struck from the list--only his. Additionally, *not* including your content in his reply would make his own post meaningless in those groups where yours don't appear.

You don't need the CDO interface to post as "anonymous"!

Rain wasn't a consideration. As I recall, conditions were 'Red', 'Yellow',
and 'White'. Under attack, imminent threat of attack, little chance of
attack.

Weapons where 'Free', 'Tight', or 'Hold'. These referred to antiaircraft
fire; 'Free' - "Fire on the aircraft unless you can positively identify it
as friendly"; 'Tight' - "Don't fire on the aircraft unless you can
positively identify it as hostile"; 'Hold' - "Don't fire".
