I do not knowingly crosspost and in over 20 years of using Usenet I have never been "screamed at" by anyone for not crossposting. I stick with my original advice: Post to the most appropriate newsgroup and if you don't get an answer in a timely manner, reword the post and post it elsewhere. Again, when people don't answer it's usually because the original poster was not clear or thorough enough in what they're asking.

You do that and the other groups do NOT get the benefit of the discussion. Say you post to Group A - no response. Now you post to Group B - you get a response. Participants loose out and don't get the benefit of that discussion because it is in Group B only. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

I subscribe only to those newsgroups that pertain to my interests, because I don't want to wade through hundreds of extraneous messages, many of which don't pertain to my interests. A good example is the Visual Basic newsgroups. People crosspost all kinds of things that have nothing to do with the VB language and it gets annoying to have to read through them, especially when the titles aren't clear. Again, I am suggesting to people to post ONLY to those newsgroups most related to your topic.

If you Cross-Post to the other groups you do NOT have to subscribe to them.
