Please learn to Cross-Post to relevant News Groups instead of Multi-Posting the same subject
matter.

It would be helpful if you explained that.

If a person is multiposting, chances are they do not even know what
crossposting or multiposting are.

If a message MUST be posted to multiple groups, post a single message and
select all the groups (or type their names manually, separated by commas) in
which you want it to be seen. This is called Crossposting and when used
properly it is *GOOD*.

This question was posted individually to multiple groups.

This is called Multiposting and it's *BAD*.

Replies made in one group will not be visible in the other groups, which
may cause multiple people to respond to a question with the same answer
because they didn't know someone else had already done it.

This is a waste of time.

Please don't multi-post.

With Outlook Express...

To send your message to multiple newsgroups on the same news server, in the
New Message dialog box, click the icon next to Newsgroups. In the Pick
Newsgroups dialog box, click one or more newsgroups from the list (hold down
the CTRL key to select multiple newsgroups), and then click Add. You can
choose from all newsgroups or only those you subscribe to by clicking Show
only subscribed newsgroups.

You can send a given message to more than one newsgroup at a time only if
all the newsgroups are on the same news server. To post a message to
newsgroups on other news servers, create a separate message for each news
server.

I do not have a family or hurricane victims to take care of. I do not have
to keep up a website. Nor do I need to spend time writing batch files,
scripts or programs. Or beta testing MS software. I don't even have to
spend time writing Windows XP Expert Zone articles.

How do you find the time, Kelly? ;-)
