Many thanks for your response. I'll have to go to a news group
information forum. Once a guy told me (recently) to cross post to the
different groups so he wouldn't have to read the same post twice. I've
heard at other times that it is unacceptable to cross post and you
shouldn't
do it. I'm not sure what to do at this point but I'm sure I won't lose
any
sleep over it. I rarely cross post anyways.


Thanks for the information on rec.gardens.edible. This is exactly
the
information that I was looking for.

Sincerely,

Jeb

Jeb,

Definitely DO NOT cross-post . You will definitely **** off more people
by
cross-posting than not. Cross-posting invariably leads to more spam too,
so
it's better to annoy that one person. Speaking of which-- I don't quite
get
his point, he's still going to see the post twice, once in each newsgroup,
isn't he?

Jim,

. I thought it was acceptable to cross post when asking a simple question
that shouldn't have caused any controversy. Before I cross-posted I read
this on a web site called:
Rules for posting to Usenet.

"Usually, it is sufficient to post any article to a single newsgroup; the
one that's most relevant to the subject of your article. If the article
is really relevant to multiple newsgroups, then "cross-post" to the
relevant newsgroups by posting the article only once with all newsgroups
named on the "Newsgroups" header line.

. I didn't know that this makes people mad. I guess, like you say, it just
****es people off and I'm not trying to do that


Thanks,

Jeb
