Is it more clear now? John probably doesn't read ding, so he couldn't
see that the problem is already solved and he possibly wasted some
time needlessly. This is annoying. Crossposting between ding and g.e.g
isn't really possible (unlike e.g. between g.e.gnus and g.e.help). I'd
recommend to ask in g.e.g unless the question is specific to Oort.

Bye, Reiner.
