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


I'm not sure it's pertinent to what Keith's point was, but I'll add my
strong ditto to yours.

We're not contributing to his original post, we're criticizing Keith.

Oops, sorry, that was supposed to be *assisting* Keith. Slip of the pen
there.

And to be serious for a second or two: Keith, I hope you really are
seeing the advice as helpful. We mean it that way (I know I do).



I accept the critique of my post but as I said, it started out as one
post to this newsgroup, not two to two different newsgroups.

Besides give me a break, I am over 70 and getting forgetful. ;-)


I'll be happy to give you a break. I'm also over 70 (76) and also
suffer from CRS syndrome.
