Please get your facts straight before posting definitions. The proper sig delimited is "-- ". Note the SPACE after the second dash. You left it out and I had to delete it myself. Uhh, cross-posting, sending one post to more than one group all at once, is fine - If you read a message on one group, it's marked read for all the groups it went to. If you want to know more, suggest searching out the term crosspost and multipost. Crossposting >From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Crossposting is the act of posting the same message to multiple forums, mailing lists, or newsgroups. This is distinct from multiposting, which involves posting multiple identical messages, each to a single forum, newsgroup, or topic area. Crossposting can be helpful if the message is of interest to a larger audience. However, crossposting to groups that are irrelevant to the message posted could be considered spamming. Moreover, excessive crossposting is generally considered bad form because it multiplies traffic without adding any new content. In the extreme case, if all messages were crossposted to every group, then every group would look exactly the same. A crossposter can minimize this problem by specifying that all responses be directed to a single group (see Followup-To). I think what you meant to not do was multi-posting; sending the same e-mail to separate groups, one at a time. THAT is considered rude & crude but not really a show stopper. ----------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossposting Crossposting >From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Crossposting is the act of posting the same message to multiple forums, mailing lists, or newsgroups.
