> One last question. How do I make clear it's a redirected question from someone else? It shows as a post from me.

1. I include "« their-name" in the subject line. By copying and pasting, since the "add name of previous poster" box will add the angle quotes in the other direction. The idea is, the post is *from* that person rather than *to* them.

2. I also add something in the body of the post: (a) "[from its-url]" if I'm leaving it where it was originally posted or (b) "[Posted by...]" (copied and pasted) if I'm deleting it.

I appreciate the help! As long as it's pretty clear something was posted to the wrong board, it shouldn't be a problem. If it was intended, and the poster might be upset, probably better to let me do it. :-)

PS: Any further discussion of this should probably be redirected to Psycho-Babble Administration, thanks.
