Belville washers. You can stack them to any height you wish, and get
them in anything from mere foil to structural thicknesses.

You guys seem to have an interesting conversation going on, but why are you
cross posting it to all of the irrelevant groups?

Sorry, Mike. I'm running Agent 4.2 and I'm not sure how to strip out
other newsgroups in a reply. It appears, when I show all of the
fields, that my replies go only to rec.crafts.metalworking. But I
don't know.

Can anyone give me a hint?

At least with the above post, your target and all followups are directed
solely to rec.crafts.metalworking

OK, thanks. I'll pay attention to the headers and see if any indicate
more groups. Every one I've looked at says only
rec.crafts.metalworking, even when the post I'm responding to was
posted to multiple groups.

I'm still not sure what's going on there.

4.2 should pop up a warning if you try to reply to a message that is
posted to more then one group. Then if you wish you can edit the
Newsgroups: line in the header at the top of the page where you are
writing the reply.

You can also set parameters to not download messages posted to more
than XXX groups.

Huh. I've never seen that.

All that *ever* appears up there is RCM.

Maybe I've inadvertently set it for 1.

Thanks, John. I'll have to look a little closer.

AHA! Thank you, David. I had it set for only this NG.

Now I can cross-post to Mars, if necessary...g (Only kidding -- I'll
be able to see where posts are trying to go, at least.)
