Greetings:
                     My sincere apologies that this is off topic.  Someone 
in the group emailed me wondering why I didn't sign my post about constant 
repeats of previous posts.

The person asked:

    "Why don't you bother signing your own posts???? Who are you and what 
are you afraid of ????? Thanks."

I belong to several groups, in both Google Groups and Yahoo Groups, and the 
one I happen to be most active in is a group with very strong emotionally 
charged arguments back and forth about whether or not Global Warming is 
man-made, or natural. It gets very nasty at times with personal ad hominems, 
and worse.
   In this group, most of our names are in already listed in the From 
section and many people either use a fake name, or do not sign for other 
reasons. Many of us are used to simply not signing there, although I 
sometimes sign my name as "Catoni" . But in that group my name of "Catoni" 
is already in the post beginning.
    So my apologies for not signing in my post. Just a case of being used to 
not signing all the time I guess. And my apologies again that this post is 
off topic.
