- | Almost _none_ of these messages is on topic for c.l.c and they are
- | massively crossposted.
-
- Crossposted messages are almost automatically off-topic. And the more
- groups a message is crossposted to, the greater the pool of people who
- might follow up with further off-topic posts. From the stats I've
- been keeping, about 24% of the articles posted to comp.lang.c over
- the last two years have been crossposts.
-
- Newsreaders with rn-style kill files can remove crossposts from their
- daily viewing nightmare with one of these:
-
- /Newsgroups:.*,/h:j /* delete two-or-more way xposts */
- /Newsgroups:.*,.*,/h:j /* delete three-or-more way xposts */
