One last shot before I go home.  :-/}

At least I'm trimming the individual's names out of the reply list, a practise
I recommend.  (That's not the shot, that's free.)

Yes, indeed, different things entirely is the point.  Very little should ever
be cross posted.  I can easily imagine a person subscribing to the general
SNMP list and only the few topics of direct interest, such as a particular
MIB.

Hey, Frank, now that you're taking notes instead of me, all this volume, plus
cross posting is a pain, huh?  :-)}
