Tom!
You posted this message to NINE email groups.
Eight of which I don't belong to.
I think you should write to each and every one of them and apologize for
your behavior.
You have caused eight people needless work simply because you didn't take
the time to send out nine separate messages.
People have to administer these lists and most have little patience for
such rude and unacceptable behavior.
