I made a tightly filtered post this afternoon. I have checked the filters several times, both that the post was made to the correct filter and that the people who I thought were in the filter were the only people in the filter.
People who were not in the filter saw the post. I doublechecked the post again -- and my filter again -- and both of those seems to be in place. I have no idea why people saw the post that were not on the filter.
The post has been made private. The post was intended to allow me to express my frustration to a narrow circle of people, and that did not happen. I had filtered the post in the first place not to inflict it upon people, and that clearly did not work. Eh, I'll live.
I would say that this would teach me not to post when I have a level 8 migraine, but I did not misfilter, so I am not sure what lessons to draw from this.

Commiserative comment.
A similar thing happened to me (on the way to the forum). Long story short, I belong to a *neighborhood* yahoo group & there is this crazy (quite, quite crazy) guy who has been posting bizarre shit on the message board & people were up in arms about getting him booted from the list & I sent my 2 cents in AND FORGOT TO TURN OFF MY SIGNATURE with my name, address, and phone number. At least you tried to keep the comment private. I basically sent a crappy comment to the neighborhood nut with all but a map to my front door. (sigh) It's been near a week, so I'm assuming that he has bigger issues to deal with.
