 | Everything You Wanted To Know About Cross-Posting But Were Afraid To Ask
Sometimes, you'll have an issue you think should be discussed in more
than one newsgroup. Rather than posting individual messages in each
group, you can post the same message in several groups at once, through
a process known as cross-posting.
Say you want to start a discussion about the political ramifications of
importing rare tropical fish from Brazil. People who read rec.aquaria
might have something to say. So might people who read
alt.politics.animals and talk.politics.misc.
Cross-posting is easy. It also should mean that people on other systems
who subscribe to several newsgroups will see your message only once,
rather than several times -- news-reading software can cancel out the
other copies once a person has read the message. When you get ready to
post a message , you'll be asked in which newsgroups. Type the names of
the various groups, separated by a comma, but no space, for example:
rec.aquaria,alt.politics.animals,talk.politics.misc
and hit enter. The message will be posted in the various groups (unless
one of the groups is moderated, in which case the message goes to the
moderator, who decides whether to make it public).
It's considered bad form to post to an excessive number of newsgroups,
or inappropriate newsgroups. Probably, you don't really have to post
something in 20 different places. And while you may think your
particular political issue is vitally important to the fate of the
world, chances are the readers of rec.arts.comics will not, or at least
not important enough to impose on them. You'll get a lot of nasty e-mail
messages demanding you restrict your messages to the "appropriate"
newsgroups.

separately. Instead, specify all the groups on a single copy of the
message. This reduces network overhead and lets people who subscribe to
more than one group see the message once instead of having to wade
through each copy. -- from Google Groups

"If you feel an article will be
of interest to more than one Newsgroup,
be sure to CROSSPOST the article rather
than individually post it to those groups.
In general, probably only five-to-six
groups will have similar enough interests
to warrant this."

| Jay stevens,aka dr. jai etc., uses a narrow definition of spam to justify
his net behavior. So we can invent a new one to capture his behavior,
sproll, a combination of spam and troll. He spams to sell his services by
multiple links appended to each message in multiple cross postings, and
brags about the multiple thousand messages he has sent. Troll for his
agiprop political spam and religious bigotry.

I don't know where he gets this idea that it is "Not good" to crosspost,
but it's just either his opinion or he is lying to your faces.
I don't trust people who would lie to your face or try to convince you
otherwise.
That looks like a con artist to me.
He would probably con his own mother!
But Google Groups, a billion dollar company says, it's fine to crossspost.
And they have a policy of "Do No Evil"!

Now, I already told you guys I don't want anyone spreading misinformation
in these newsgroups.

| I don't know if this is true because
I haven't kept up with all the changing technology..
but there is a rumor going around that Guy Macon is not
a person but actually an artificial intellingence program, a robot!
It sure is a strange world.
