I doubt it's proper netiquette to kick a thread out of a group, especially 
if the group is involved. I have said many times before, and do so again, 
setting a follow up works best when the OP does it, otherwise it's either 
ignored, or a part of the thread runs in all groups, and other parts don't, 
creating quite a mess. Setting a follow up to "put things straight" rarely 
works, if at all.

Well, William James *is* a pain in the ass.
