Please do /not/ do this. Ramine is probably the most hated poster in
technical newsgroups - one reason is that he starts multiple new threads
to "fix" totally irrelevant tiny typos. No one cares about a spelling
mistake, but we /do/ care about posting like this.

Start a /single/ thread about what you think is new and cool about
upcoming C++ standards, and we can discuss that.

Oddly, I don't have the original article on my news server -- possibly
because it's the same one Stefan uses, and the archaic "supersedes"
header worked locally.

But I agree with you.

Ah, well - maybe he was trying to do the right thing. But superseding
and deleting Usenet articles has not been supported on most servers for
a very long time.

I know that Stefan is a very positive contributor to this group - I'd
hate to see him get killfiled by people due to a misunderstanding about
Usenet posting.
