With so many posts regarding topics completely unrelated to this
NG from idiots such as yourself, why do you worry about crossposting. Ok, so he crossposted, who cares, who really gives a sh it except a rs eholes like you. Do you go out of your way to find crossposters? Do you read all the crossposts? DL, I feel very sorry for you. Mickey "DL" address@invalid wrote in message ...

No if a person crossposts a message to several newsgroups like they are supposed to, it makes it easier for everyone else to read messages. When you read a message that has been crossposted to several newsgroups, it is marked as read in all the newsgroups it has been crossposted to so you only see the message once. When a message is multiposted, you'll see it in every newsgroup it's multiposted to. -- Roy Smith Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex Remove N O S P A M when replying by email. |

"Peter Foldes" wrote in message ... Read the following Mickey Mouse http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm -- Peter I regard posting links to unknown places as you regard cross posting. I'm sure the link to http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm is quite harmless. However, I try to make a habit of not activating links found in NG's. I learnt that lesson the hard way a long time ago. But I assume it goes to justify the argument that crossposting is not a good thing. Nevertheless, it could not justify or negate the right of an individual to choose to crosspost. This case in point: I did not know that he crossposted his message elsewhere. If he had not crossposted then I would probably not have seen the post and it may have been of interest to me. If I see a post in one NG and then the same post in another then I just don't read the second. Laying down the so called law from some fantasy world in someone's mind only dilutes the credibility of the person doing the complaining. Mickey |

Twayne.
there are two ways of understanding what crossposting is/means. 1 The actual meaning of the word or act. 2 The actual perception of the word. I bet that most people think that cross posting is posting the same message in a number of newsgroups. While this may or may not be correct strictly speaking. It is the way it is perceived. You obviously, have bothered to find a definition, I seriously doubt that most people go the trouble you have. Black, white, right or wrong. It's always comes down to perception.

Steve, I've never seen or as you say been paying much attention.
all I've ever noticed is people telling others not to crosspost. I've never read a post telling someone off for Multiposting. Or the differences of Cross Vs Multi posting. Multiposting, sure this is bad and should never be done, especially if you guys are paying by the second. But crossposting, well I don't see the problem. sometimes you may not know which group to post in so you post in a couple of similar groups hoping to strike oil. If they don't know the difference then they should be told and if they do know the difference then they should be allowed to make their own choice. But how do you determine if they know or not? Answering a post only to tell a person not to crosspost is NO guarantee they are going to take any notice of you. "Steve McGarrett" wrote in message ...

No, that's because I rarely read of finish reading posts where someone is being criticized, or told what or what not to do. There's enough cops on here without me joining the ranks. |

I think that you will find that people don't usually complain much about
crossposting, the complaints are almost always about multi-posting. If you read the multiple replies to the OP's post in the multiple groups to where he posted no one said to not crosspost, all the respondents told him to learn the difference between the two posting methods. Multi-posting wastes everybody's time, including that of the one who does the multi-posting.
