Please do not multipost. This question has nothing to do with databases, so
there was no benefit to you from posting it here.

In addition, by posting the same question
separately in these newsgroups, you created a "multipost". This is bad
because users in one group cannot see replies to the question from the other
group. This could cause somebody to waste his time answering a question that
has already been answered in the other group, which will certainly be
annoying, and may cause the person who wasted his time to put you on Ignore.
Who knows, this person may be the only person in the newsgroups who knows
the answer to your next question, and you're never going to receive his
answer.

The best policy is: post your question to one appropriate newsgroup. If
you've posted it in the wrong place, someone will let you know, and
hopefully will be polite enough to suggest a more appropriate newsgroup. If
you can't decide which of several newsgroups is the most appropriate, use
the cross-posting technique: put the names of the newsgroups into the To
field of a single message and post it once. It will be posted to all the
groups in your To field. The benefit is that replies to the message will
appear in all the newsgroups to which you cross-posted it, so subscribers to
all the groups will know that your problem has been resolved. The downside
is that extra bandwidth will be used as a result, so always strive to keep
the number of cross-posted groups to a minimum.

Please reply to the newsgroup. This email account is my spam trap so I
don't check it very often. If you must reply off-line, then remove the
"NO SPAM"
