As Clem mentioned on another thread with the same question, best
practice when moving a thread which is no longer on-topic with
Unix/TUHS (e.g., when westart talking about Mainframes, VMS, et. al)
is to Bcc: TUHS saying that you are moving the discussion to COFF.
That's because if you use CC, then when someone responds, it replies
go to both list, instead of moving the discussion from one list to
another.
You can blame me for the recent spate of messages intended for COFF going also to TUHS. The thread on instruction set emulation/translation had moved far off-topic for TUHS so I sent my reply to COFF, copying TUHS on the message announcing the transfer of the topic. But I used CC, not BCC, so some further replies in the thread went to both lists.
Sorry about that, Chief!
