  • Crossposting within apple2 groups...

    There has been a spate of crossposting within the csa* family of
    newsgroups recently. Since most readers of these groups read
    all of them, this is a real inconvenience.

    Please post only to the most appropriate group.

    I've been thinking the same. I don't need to see the same posting
    and the replies 4 or 5 times

    My news-reader immediately marks reposts in the other
    groups as "read" so I don't even know they are cross-posted.
    Plus, I don't mind cross-posting per se, but I do mind when
    they are no longer relevent to the group's title, and go on for
    weeks at a time with people simply arguing over something
    which isn't even important. :'-(

    With foot in mouth, I must say I agree, but I thought that
    could be an exception since I wasn't expecting replies. ;-)

    No worries. If you want to see a great example, look at the usergroups newsgroups. That group should be killed off.

    Thanks,
