Re: copying win98 mp3 jpg files

I don't know how many times I have heard the ridiculous comment 'wasting
bandwidth's. Ridiculous. Wouldn't that also apply to people doing idle
chatter on a cell phone? Are three way telephone conversations verboten
also? (Cross posting).

Didn't we just have a discussion about multi-posting? You're doing it
again. I just answered this question in another newsgroup. Please do
*not* do this.

Why does this bother you so much Ken? Just ignore it. Be tolerant and
you'll be happier.

Why does it bother you so much that Ken is trying to get a newbie to
become a better poster? Just ignore the replies regarding Usenet
netiquette. Be tolerant and you'll be happier, too.

He is prodding a Usenet-ignorant (newbie) or anarchy-stubborn user to
cross-post when appropriate.

A point not made is that N multiposted copies will consume N times the
disk space for each of the separate copies of the same post. Crossposted
messages have just *one* copy on the server with links in the newsgroups
back to the same single copy. Multiposting wastes disk space on the
server. Yes, your post may be small but remember that you consume N times
the space on one server and then do so again on all the newsgroups servers
worldwide. You waste more bandwidth getting N copies of your multiposted
message distributed to all the newsgroups servers worldwide.
Cross-posting has just one copy of the message on an NNTP server, and only
one copy gets propagated to other NNTP servers.

To those visiting the newsgroups, crossposting helps them see ALL the
replies from those in the other RELATED newsgroup to which you linked your
post. That way, they don't waste their time duplicating similar replies.
