Didn't we just have a discussion about multi-posting? You're doing it again.
I just answered this question in another newsgroup. Please do *not* do this.

Why does this bother you so much Ken? Just ignore it. Be tolerant and you'll
be happier.

Why does it bother you so much that Ken is trying to get a newbie to
become a better poster? Just ignore the replies regarding Usenet
netiquette. Be tolerant and you'll be happier, too.

He is prodding a Usenet-ignorant (newbie) or anarchy-stubborn user to
cross-post when appropriate.

A point not made is that N multiposted copies will consume N times the
disk space for each of the separate copies of the same post.
Crossposted messages have just *one* copy on the server with links in
the newsgroups back to the same single copy. Multiposting wastes disk
space on the server. Yes, your post may be small but remember that
you consume N times the space on one server and then do so again on
all the newsgroups servers worldwide. You waste more bandwidth
getting N copies of your multiposted message distributed to all the
newsgroups servers worldwide. Cross-posting has just one copy of the
message on an NNTP server, and only one copy gets propagated to other
NNTP servers.

To those visiting the newsgroups, crossposting helps them see ALL the
replies from those in the other RELATED newsgroup to which you linked
your post. That way, they don't waste their time duplicating similar
replies.

I don't know how many times I have heard the ridiculous comment 'wasting
bandwidth's. Ridiculous. Wouldn't that also apply to people doing idle
chatter on a cell phone? Are three way telephone conversations verboten
also? (Cross posting).

If you back them up to CD you will be able to open them in Windows XP. The
files are standard so will open in any windows operating system.

Yeah, as long as it doesn't affect YOU then waste somewhere else is
always okay, uh huh.

And I suppose it really affects you?
