Jeff,
I checked out the link on Public accepted tags,
thanks for the information.
Is it necessary to repost my email
or have you done that for me already?
Regards, David.
#I am new at posting to Google groups

First, it's NOT an email message.
Please respond in the group--not via email.
Hold onto your hat. This is going to shock you.
THIS IS **NOT** GOOGLE GROUPS; this is USENET.
Google Groups is but *one* way of accessing USENET
--many will say an *inferior* way.[1]
When you are at someone else's computer
--someone who uses a newsreader to access Usenet--
have him show you how it looks.
Most folks DON'T SEE USENET THE WAY YOU SEE IT (on Google).
That said: No you don't have to do anything this time.

#[Zero] for 2, not sure what you mean by that.

1) Not marking an ad as an ad.
2) Multi-posting
Actually, it's worse than that [2]; here's the big one:
3) Posting an ad to a group
where commercial ads are not welcome.

If you had gotten 1 and 2 right,
many folks would forgive a one-time personal ad.
The way you did it makes you look clueless
and some folks may "plonk" you.

[1] The way Google *archives* Usenet posts in perpetuity
is its big advantage
[2] Replying via email is yet another breach.
