- Ok, so some of you use Tin, RN, NN or other clever non-nextish
- newsreader. But there are a hoard of us who use NewsGrazer with all
- it's faults.
-
- So I see the same article two, three, ... many times when some idgit
- cross posts.
-
- Most of us read most of the groups, so cross posting isn't necessary.
- If it clearly fits into one group, put it there. If sort of fits in
- two, flip a coin. (e.g. a printer problem could be hardware or
- sysadmin) Chances are pretty good that whoever has something cogent to
- say reads both of those groups anyway.
