One of the things I REALLY try to do is read through a post before I send it. I may not know all the details of the "politics" behind it (PA, for example:), but if I can't read it through, why should I expect somebody else to do so. So many times, on other lists, I have seen posts that obviously were not read, or the list not checked to see if a post was already crossposted. Just close the eyes and post away. There are probably... oh 20, maybe even more... probably more... that I get through the multiple lists that I don't forward to this list. Some may be of interest to other lists, but only tangential to this one. (I do sneak in a bird or a turtle one LOL) What I'm trying to say, is that sometimes in our honest effort to keep you informed, there are sometimes duplicate posts and sometimes posts that should never have been forwarded to one list or another. I get some awful emails that are offensive to me personally no matter what side of the street I am on. I simply delete.
