Not everyone follows language-neutral groups (such as
comp,programming as you pointed out), so you actually reach more
people by cross posting. This is what I don't understand - everyone
seems to assume that by cross posting, one intends on start a
"flamefest", when in fact most such "flamefests" are started by
those who cannot bring themselves to skipping over the topic that
they so dislike.
The problem is that many initial posts have topics that are misleading
or simplistic. Often an interesting discussion can start on some
point the initial poster never considered or meant to raise.
Is this not a possibility for any topic, whether it's cross-posted or
not?
You guys are off topic. None of the million groups to which this message was
posted are about netiquette.
