   I'd like to interject.  Daniel, crossposting is fine, as long as   
   the multiple groups are relevant.  It isn't clear that, for this   
   thread, all the groups are relevant but the OP did not "post the   
   exact same message to multiple usenet groups".  He crossposted.   
   Posting the exact same message to multiple usenet groups is   
   spamming.  That is, no matter what the intentions, frowned upon.   
   Crossposting is a way to include more than one group in the   
   conversation.  This can be quite powerful sometimes, but in this   
   particular case, the OP seemingly wasn't trying to be judicious.
