Russ,
Sorry for the cross post, but this is an important one potentially affecting all recipients.
Why be sorry? Did you break a rule? Where is the rule?
It seems that there is a rule, but the rule gives if the matter is important enough. But you have to say "Sorry"?
It seems that when a matter comes up that is important enough to inform everyone, one MUST cross post -- otherwise, you guarantee that lots of people will not get the message.
Having to say "Sorry" to get a message out to everyone who needs to get the message seems silly to me.
I would think that if the message is important enough and must get to everyone, one should be able to cross post without having to say "Sorry" -- saying "Sorry" is "silly".
