Please, if you feel you must post in multiple news groups, do what is called
"cross-posting", naming all the newsgroups in the Newsgroups line of the
header. That way, answers will be posted to all those newsgroups, so we can
see if your question has been answered. I happened to remember answering this
one in another newsgroup.

You posted the same question individually in a number of separate newsgroups,
which is called "multi-posting" and is inconsiderate and impolite because it
potentially causes people who donate their time/energy to post answers to
waste time on a question that has already been answered.

To say nothing about the OP Time Traveling.........

For other good suggestions on effective use of newsgroups, see the FAQ at
