- In case it wasn't obvious (and it seems not to have been obvious to
- everyone), the preamble to my earlier post
-
- << Though you cross-posted this query to a very large number of newsgroups,
- I am confining my reply to those groups that I read. Blind cross-posting
- wastes a lot of net bandwidth and a lot of people's time. >>
-
- was meant to explain why *I* was not sending my reply to all of the
- newsgroups in the original list, not to criticize Paul Fawcett for the
- original cross-posting.
-
- I think that "blind" cross posting -- that is, cross posting or replying to
- lots of newsgroups that the author does not normally read -- is a bad thing
- because it can lead to lengthy arguments and discussions that occur in the
- wrong groups and that the original author may never see. So I avoid BLIND
- cross-posting and try to discourage others from this practice. But if Paul
- reads all the newsgroups he sent his message to, I've got no problem with
- the wide distribution of his original message. It's quite possible that
- each of the groups he targeted will have something interesting to say about
- this topic.
