   Right. Crossposting has a bad reputation because it's a traditional   
   tool of spammers. However, as you say, there's nothing wrong with   
   crossposting to related groups when it makes sense to do so. And it's   
   always much preferable to multi-posting, which does nothing but waste   
   everyone's time and gets the OP poorer help than he should get.
