Right. The first link from there says: "Let's assume that you still want to send your message to several groups. (Sometimes there could be a reason.) [...] The way to crosspost is simply to compose and send one message once, just writing two or more newsgroups names" (here, mailing list names). The second link says: "There is one very important DON'T in cross-posting. Do not send the same message separately to different newsgroups, i.e. do not multi-post. If your posting indeed is necessary and relevant in more than one newsgroup, always use the cross-posting facility" (here, mailing lists - not newsgroups) The third link says: "Cross-posting is often wrong, [...] However cross-posting is right some of the time. Multi-posting is a waste of bandwidth, money, and people's time, with no advantages whatever, and should never be indulged in." Need more? Binand -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
