Hi Sacha,

I'm sorry, Sacha, but how is it I am cross-posting (I'm not even sure
what that means!)? I choose the post that I've received and want to
reply
to, add my comments and click on "Reply Group".

What am I doing wrong? If you can tell me, I'll be pleased to stop! I
said I was new to newsgroups and I was serious! I honestly have no
idea
what you mean.

Actually, I think I see. I've just had a look at the newsgroups that
this
Pies belongs to and, I suppose, when I click on "Reply Group" a copy
goes
to all of those groups, which is, obviously, not what I want. I also
suppose I should select from that list the one I want to post to
before I
send it. Yes, that would make sense but let me know if I'm right,
Sacha.!

Sorry. if that's the problem, and if I've upset anyone, I honestly
didn't
know I was doing it.


New to Usenet, then you need these links...

http://home.freeuk.com/sc.i/mindmanners.htm some amusing netiquette.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette some less amusing rather dry
stuff.
http://foldoc.org/?netiquette short and sweet.

If you read those and post by them you will do better than a lot.

And this will certainly come in handy...

understand
the abbreviations iykwim.

I see the Sachas of this world are mentioned in their full glory. It
still looks like you need to get out more.

I think you qualify for a:-
