      From: rickNOSPAMnews@NOSPAMcomcast.net              I just answered this question in another newsgroup that you posted to.              From a post by Jeff Johnson:              "You have posted this question individually to        multiple groups. This is called Multiposting        and it's BAD. Replies made in one group will        not be visible in the other groups, which may        cause multiple people to respond to your        question with the same answer because they        didn't know someone else had already done it.        This is a waste of time.               If you MUST post your message to multiple        groups, post a single message and select all        the groups (or type their names manually in        the Newsgroups field, separated by commas)        in which you want it to be seen. This is called        Crossposting and when used properly it is        GOOD."              Rick              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
