cross-posting to more than 2 groups, I wasn't sure if David's bot in its
current incarnation was a good idea.
On the other hand, this attempt by yours to create separate VOTE threads
with an abusive subject line stinks.
My recommendation to David is to go back to the good old days of
pointing out in clpmisc questions that have been multi-posted, as he
becomes aware of them. There is no need to make prescriptive statments
such as "burn this thread". There is also no need to catch every single
multi-posted message. Those of us who care will promptly take action.
Those who don't care are not bothered by giant shouting messages and the
subsequent trolling.

I've been having a profitable discussion with John Bokma (another
critic of this idea) in another thread (http://tinyurl.com/rdedx) where
various aspects of this have been hashed out. Before binding me to the
pillar, prehaps folks might consider some of the issues we've both
raised.
I have been quite surprized by some of the negative reaction to my bot.
I will freely admit that it can be improved upon, but I hadn't expected
many people to object (or really care very much).
I had intended to open a thread to discuss the matter (prehaps with a
somewhat less prejudicial subject line). I'm always open to suggestions
and constructive criticism (which John has furnished, but which has
been somewhat lacking in other complaints).

Thanks John Bokma.
