Now Mr. Peter Trei...

fi you look at your newsreader, you'll
notice the Header reads:

Newsgroups:

The N is underlined, and there is a 's' at the end of the word: Newsgroups:


That means, it's plural;

plu·ral
'plo?or?l/
adjective
adjective: plural

    1.
    more than one in number.



So, if you're just posting to one newsgroup, you're not using it for what it is *designed* for.


Get wit the program!

\_ \ \----._________.----/

before!


Expand your mind, expand your universe, experience new things and ideas,
...with cross-posting.

Newsgroups: header line) to a few appropriate newsgroups is fine..."

"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
