Yes, that is correct. "check your "Newsgroups:" header!"

If you understand the English language it reads: Newsgroups


There is a letter 's' ending in the word Newsgroups

A plural "-s" is a suffix added to the end of a singular English noun to
show that there is more than one of that item (such as turning "cat"
into "cats", "newsgroup" into "newsgroups" ).



Basic Rules for Plural Endings

• Standard Plural (-s): Add -s to most regular nouns (e.g., dog ? dogs,
book ? books)

The word plural means more than one. In grammar, it refers to forms of
nouns, pronouns, or verbs that indicate a quantity of two or more.

I would suggest you conatct Usenet and have them remove the letter 's'
from the Headers of all Newsreaders that read Newsgroups:


and now, for a little more info...


Everything You Wanted To Know About Cross-Posting But Were Afraid To
Ask

Sometimes, you'll have an issue you think should be discussed in more
than one newsgroup. Rather than posting individual messages in each
group, you can post the same message in several groups at once,
through
a process known as cross-posting.

Say you want to start a discussion about the political ramifications
of
importing rare tropical fish from Brazil. People who read rec.aquaria
might have something to say. So might people who read
alt.politics.animals and talk.politics.misc.

Cross-posting is easy. It also should mean that people on other
systems
who subscribe to several newsgroups will see your message only once,
rather than several times -- news-reading software can cancel out the
other copies once a person has read the message. When you get ready to
post a message , you'll be asked in which newsgroups. Type the names
of
the various groups, separated by a comma, but no space, for example:

rec.aquaria,alt.politics.animals,talk.politics.misc

and hit enter. The message will be posted in the various groups
(unless
one of the groups is moderated, in which case the message goes to the
moderator, who decides whether to make it public).

It's considered bad form to post to an excessive number of newsgroups,
or inappropriate newsgroups. Probably, you don't really have to post
something in 20 different places. And while you may think your
particular political issue is vitally important to the fate of the
world, chances are the readers of rec.arts.comics will not, or at
least
not important enough to impose on them. You'll get a lot of nasty
e-mail
messages demanding you restrict your messages to the "appropriate"
newsgroups.

Expand your mind, expand your universe, experience new things and

...with cross-posting.
The Starmaker

"A posting that is cross-posted (i.e. lists multiple newsgroups on the
Newsgroups: header line) to a few appropriate newsgroups is fine..."
--from Google Groups website

"If you do post to multiple newsgroups, don't post to each group
separately. Instead, specify all the groups on a single copy of the
message. This reduces network overhead and lets people who subscribe
to
more than one group see the message once instead of having to wade
through each copy. -- from Google Groups
 


 


-- 
The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable,
to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, 
and challenge the unchallengeable.
