Hi, Keith.

"Double posting" can usually be avoided by cross-posting, rather than
multi-posting.

Don't send your message individually to multiple newsgroups. Just
create a single message and put multiple newsgroups, separated by
semicolons, into the "Newsgroups..." box of that one message.

Your cross-posted message will appear in each of those target NGs,
and responses in one NG will show up in all of them. This helps to
keep the conversation coherent, no matter which NGs the responder
reads. And no matter which NG you read. ;) (And I don't have to
read your same question in every NG I visit.)

Enthusiastic +1 here
