hope i hit the write group:
No, you did not. Please do not crosspost over main hierarchies and
please set Followup-To one appropriate newsgroup when crossposting.
Lahn is a control freak, and moreover totally misguided.
There is no legitimate objection in Usenet to cross-posting to a
moderate number of groups in different hierarchies, if all are
considered relevant and the individual charters do not disallow it.
There is no requirement in Usenet to follow up to a single group.
However, I believe that comp.lang.java.javascript is not a legitimately-
created Big-8 group, though some poorly-administered servers carry it.

So you answer in one group, and follow up to another. Stick to your
house-painting, and refrain from intestinal retrostalsis.
