Learn to cross-post.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossposting

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.
