Would everyone who has accidentally posted to this list please raise their
hands. Accidents are a trait of human nature and I expect a few silly posts
that people make to come to the list. If we did not make mistakes we would
be slow in learning. To say that someone is thick if they make a mistake and
accidentally post to this list is tarring an awful lot of people on this
list with a great big brush and like politicians we will all be waiting to
see if any of the people stating how stupid it is to do it do it in the
future (breath).
