you claimed quite explicitly that had this thread been posted there 
rather than here you would have missed it. that certainly doesn't imply 
you're a member of it.

because the group policy quite clearly says "referencing *only* the 
books". see below... i very much dislike _all_ situations where a rule 
is not a rule, and would like to at least know in advance what rules 
i'm not required to make any attempt to follow.

 From your earlier message of 28 July, 07:53 --

>>> I would have missed Kara Baer's post if that were the case

"that" being, presumably, my quite specific statement that said post 
belonged on the other list... are you in the habit of "missing" posts 
that are made to lists of which you are a member? i was quite 
reasonable at least in assuming you were not a member.

not according to the below, which is appended to EVERY email.
