JG>> Unfortunately, that's the nature of Internet news. It is
JG>> assumed that you posted in a public forum, therefore you posted
JG>> to All. This applies even when you're specifically replying to
JG>> someone. That's the only reasoning I can think of for it
JG>> anyway.

BL> Bloody hell! This is not acceptable. How the bloody hell do you find
BL> replies to your questions?

The idea is that you start a subject, e.g. "baking fish fingers",
and then all the comments on that subject are displayed together.  This is
similar to fidonet, in that just because a message is not addressed to you,
does not mean that it does not answer your question.

BL> PAUL!! You're going to have to add a To: line in your EdwardsNet
BL> standards. Or do we always use mail instead of news...?

X-Comment-To will be added as soon as practical.  As will the ability to
not send you every newsgroup I have.  BFN.  Paul.
