I think that what Phil is talking about is not
your comments, but the very creation of said group and
the idea that trash-related discussion is supposed to
filter there from here. In other words, there are no
"cross-posts", because there should not be two different
groups.
At least, I think that's what Phil's saying, and
what (for example) Greg Sorenson's been implying. I
know that I'm saying it.
