Then you have neither been following the newsgroups nor reading the material 
around the 'Net on proper Usenet etiquette.

But logically, it just doesn't make sense to multi-post, and that's why people 
object.  Successive messages in an Usenet thread compose a conversation. 
Multi-posting fragments the conversation, making it much more difficult to 
follow for other readers, and irritates people who answer your question in one 
thread, only to find that the answer is missing from the other(s).

Since presumably you posted a question in order to get help and to contribute 
to others' Java knowledge, it just makes sense to post in a way that 
encourages useful responses, and helps future readers to follow along.

Google around for Usenet etiquette, a.k.a. "netiquette", "asking smart 
questions", etc.  Check out Wikipedia on the subject of multi-posting and more 
links.  (GIYF and WIYF.)
