"John Doty"


There's nothing wrong with cross posting of messages that are on topic:
the designers of USENET intended it to be used in this way.


** There is *plenty* wrong with crossposting - as a Google search on the
term will inform you.

That some message may be superficially "on topic" for several NGs is not
the point - different NGs have different agendas so their respective
readers will see the same matter in vastly different ways. These differing
views, brought about by differing levels of factual knowledge, life
experience and mindsets are incomprehensible to some posters and often a
flame war is the result.
