	What is "billio"? I have no idea whatever what you might mean by 
it -- unless it makes some sense to you to say "bilious" in such a 
context.

	I follow this list (what I can of it) and several others on 
Gmane, using Pan and news.gmane.org.

	My question was (and remains) about triple booting Fedora, 
CentOS, and Ubuntu; so I posted it to those three of Gmane's lists -- 
only the .general ones. Total, three. 

	It has long been common practice -- one which Pan actually 
enforces, in fact -- in such cases to point out on which list a/o group 
anyone interested in the topic will have the easiest time finding more.

	That is a false, unwarranted assumption. Shame has nothing to do 
with it.

	If you have a problem with Net handles, that is your misfortune, 
and none of my own. It's also very surprising -- you've been online more 
than long enough to get used to them, unless there are now two people 
using the name "John Summerfield" (as could easily be the case, of 
course). Nor is self-righteous pecksniffery relevant to this list.

	"Beartooth" is the Net handle I've been using for years, for 
reasons that seem to me both excellent and irrelevant to this list, and 
the one by which I am known and welcome in many places. It is mine now, 
and will remain; you are welcome to killfile it.

	"Testbedder" tells me the post is one I originally sent from that 
machine -- which, until recently, had only a very old version of Pan -- 
and does neither you nor anyone else any harm, while being useful to me.
