You may think you are posting strictly to the bike ng but a glance at
the message header shows that you are posting to several groups at once,
hence the crossosting.

Ok Guy, I get it, I get it <g>....I admit, I never looked at the To: line,
and I tried deleting some of them, and it was no go for me. I'm used to
seeing only one group there. So I guess it's a big apology to all for all
the cross posting. (But again, I was just answering a post in the bike
group, I wasn't the original poster.) Eric
