| Just to prove a point - when a post is crossposted, it's only stored on the sever once, and there are simply references in the headers. It has to. It has only one message ID, duh. The point being that people bitch about crossposting, when there are so many reasons why it's better. Cheers! Rich |

Your point is really moot, since it's not bandwidth people dislike about crossposting, but crossposts to irrelevant newsgroups and/or excessive crossposting (like to 10 newsgroups). Oh, and not setting Followup-To. - --keith - -- kkeller-usenet@wombat.san-francisco.ca.us (try just my userid to email me) AOLSFAQ=http://wombat.san-francisco.ca.us/cgi-bin/fom -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFApS5fhVcNCxZ5ID8RAjRPAJ45FP7KdpkWAqd3iJsi5o lSwT3UFgCfc56U Rp75+Xdn6Pd76/tCTMGTBMs= =qtFK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |

I can't figure out how to look at a message ID, other than the above, which when I click on it, it opens my email sender. In the response. So I'm downloading the groups with slrnpull right now on my other computer. Cheers! Rich |

In a world where people are sending DVDs over the Internet, the difference in storage is lost in the noise. Jim Thompson <thegreatone@example.com> says... >Proper crossposting is ONLY SEEN ONCE, with a good reader like Agent. That's not the issue either. The issue is that crossposting tends to make all newsgroups look alike. Rich Grise crossposted to alt.os.linux.slackware and sci.electronics.design. The end result will be two alt.os.linux.slackware users discussing slackware but crossposting the enrire thread to sci.electronics.design, and six sci.electronics.design regulars discussing Iraq and crossposting the entire thread to alt.os.linux.slackware. Why not just get rid of all newsgroups and have everyone post everything to misc.misc? |

However, you would have made a lot more sense if you'd replied to one of the cross-posted messages. Considering the present state of sci.electronics.design, they deserve you more than we do over here. Michael |
