Re: About Registry Cleaners

Hmm, apparently Van can't count to one. That was posted in only one
place; right here. If it went further, another spidiot did that<g>.

Oh, and ... where's the spam?

Twayne is too stupid to know how to properly cross-post his same post
to multiple newsgroups. He's on a mission to educate the uneducated
with his ignorant proselytizing because someone who is selling a
registry cleaner came up with reasons to buy it.

Learn to cross-post, Twayne.

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.

Don't cross-post to more groups than needed if at all. Many consider
cross-posting to more than 4 groups as rude and may filter out your
post. The more groups you add, the less likely that they are related,
the less accurate or focused are the targeted groups, or some of the
included groups may already encompassed by another included but more
general group. If the are subgroups under a topic, choose whether you
will be specific or general in the targeted groups to which you post.
Don't go shotgunning your post across multiple groups trying to
capture as large an audience as possible as you will offend netizens
with your poor aim.
