<snip - same message as MULTIposted in other groups?
Hey, Satan wannabe, learn to cross-post!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossposting
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/usenet/xpost.html
A point not made is that N multiposted copies will consume N times the
space for separate copies of the same post. Crossposted messages have
just *one* copy on the server and the groups simply have pointers back to
that same single copy. Multiposting wastes disk space on the server. Yes,
your post is small but remember that you consume N times the space on one
server and then do so on all the newsgroups servers worldwide.
Crossposting helps readers in one group see the replies from those in
another RELATED newsgroup to which you copied your post. That way, they
don't waste their time duplicating similar replies that already exist.
And how much space does an unnecessary post that didn't address the issue
waste?
