John Berry apologized for replying to a political message crossposted to
vortex-L and vortexB-L.   He thought he was sending it to vortexB only.

Watch out for that.  Never put vortex-L and vortexB-L in the same message
address.  Rule 5 bans "crossposting;" the including of vortex-L in any
message to some other forum.  People replying to messages with other
addresses in the "TO:" or "CC:"  may accidentally send a nasty vortexB
reply to vortexB, *and* to vortex.  (It's very much the same as sending
secret emails to friend, without noticing that the CC line is broadcasting
your email to a public forum.  Never forget to check!)

5. Please do not include any other email list in the TO line or the CC
   line of your messages to vortex-L.  In the past this has caused
   storms of "thread leakage" between lists and redundant messages as
   replies from subscribers go to both lists.  It's OK to manually forward
   mail from other lists to vortex-L, as long as the TO line and CC line
   has only vortex-L and no other list.
