By the way, I don't think there is a group called c.d.o - I believe it's a branch not a node. But in any event, people are generally discouraged from posting to multiple c.d.o. groups, since many folk read multiple groups. A courteous request to whichever group seems most appropriate will usually elicit a helpful response. Good luck!
