   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."
