Not necessarily. Cross-posted threads often degenerate in one way or another due to cultural differences or plain obstreperousnesses.

And within these Microsoft groups it is really unnecessary, because the people who might answer the questions are mostly reading all of them anyway.


I am a newbie in ASP.NET and posted a newbie question in what I thought was a good group, but then discovered that group was not very well visited, so I then multi-posted it to another one. Often times the people who need help the most are the ones who know the least, and I don't really see what the big deal is about that, no need to get prickly about it.

Hi David:

Well, I was talking here specifically about cross-posting. Despite its evil reputation, multi-posting has its uses and yours is one of them.

Cross-posting, in my experience, tends to be either unnecessary or flame-producing. Not much in between.

You're learning ASP.NET? My own web site is Unix hosted and I have been looking at PHP (currently I have static pages with, would you believe C++ CGI's). The thing that's attractive about ASP.NET is that you can use the same language (C#) as for Windows applications (or VB.NET of course, but let's not go there...).
