ANST - a question and a request about posting to the lists

[Gail P. Taylor]

There are quite a few people whom I know are on the regional boards but not on
Ansteorra.  They do this because when Ansteorra's active, it's too much.  As a
result, people cross-post.  I just look at the titles and names, and skip the
duplicates.  Of course, I'm on a network and not a modem, so duplication doesn't
slow me down a whole lot...
