- A: Cross post that question to the Atari and Amiga groups. It's an
- interesting and novel question that I am sure they would love to
- ! investigate in those groups. There is no need to read the groups in
- ! advance or examine the "frequently asked question" lists to see if the
- ! topic has already been dealt with. In fact, you don't need to read
- ! the group at all, and you can tell people that in your query.

- A: Cross post that question to the Atari and Amiga groups. It's an
- interesting and novel question that I am sure they would love to
- ! investigate in those groups. In fact, post your question at once,
- ! to as many technical groups as you can think of, concluding your
- ! request with the line "Please reply by mail, as I do not follow this
- ! group." (No one will find such a statement impertinent; remember,
- ! the net is a resource to help you.)

- ! There is no need to read the groups in advance or examine the
- ! "frequently asked question" lists to see if the topic has already
- ! been dealt with. Any such warnings are for people without your
- ! innate sense of netiquette, and whose uninspired questions are bound
- ! to be repetitive. Your question is sure to be unique; no point
- ! checking the list to see if the answer might be there already. How
- ! could it be, when you only just thought of the question?
