will now have to wander around checking up on your disconnected

messages. >>
It never stops amazing me that some people think they have found the great
find of the century when they notice the same message from the same poster
in another newsgroup.
There is no wandering involved on my end though. I have a great system in
place that allows me to go easily from one of messages to the next.
Whenever a new message arrives in one of my threads, the subject line pops
up in bold font.
Let's not forget that the point of these newsgroups is to get help. Not
everybody subscribes to the same group, so multiposting increases the
response rate considerably. And in my situation, I needed alot of answers
and I needed them quickly.
You have a real need to disconnect your multiple posts across newsgroups?
If you are posting the same message to multiple groups then the topic of
your post should be to *related* newsgroups. Well, why hide the replies
from other participants in the other groups since their replies are for an
on-topic thread? Because you are purposely disconnecting the users. That
means the users duplicate their replies and waste their time giving
suggestions that some other user has already submitted.
Your are rude when multi-posting the same message.
