-
- It is not inappropriate to have a discussion going on with the articles
- jointly posted to many newsgroups, if it is relevant to all of them.
- It IS inappropriate to post the same article separately to more than
- one newsgroup.
-
- It takes little more net resources for the transmission of an article.
- How much more disk space, etc., it takes on the local installation depends
- on how it is handled.
