Please don't multi post. I didn't understand why my response (in ciwah
appearently) didn't show up (while I was looking at your post in alt.html)
and resent it. Obviously I didn't need to.

Furthermore, where are you going to want the replies? Where are you going
to read them?

Hi, thanks for your responses! I apologize for multi-posting instead of
cross-posting. I should have cross-posted.


Given the fact that I posted to two different groups, it can safely be
assumed that I intend to check both groups for responses.


Well, not the worst of offenses, but I understand and I do very much
appreciate the advice you gave me about my HTML problem, as well as my
breach of posting etiquette.

Netiquettly speaking, he is correct.
Posting to multiple groups who's topics are nearly similar, is PROPER.
Since only two groups are involved, both in the same general topic, he is
correct.
Which makes it quite easy to check both groups for replies, should someone
like yourself, feel like not crossposting.

Well, multi-posting is not as bad as killing your grandmother, but it is,
IMO, worse than top-posting, and on the scale of
things-that-are-really-bad-to-do-in-a-newsgroup, multiposting ranks pretty
high.

Ofcourse he can post in more than one group. But he needs to use only
_one_post_ and post that _one_post_ to different groups
_at_the_same_time_, preferrably define one follow-up group. Which is what
crossposting is about. Like using more than one address on one e-mail.

A simple difference between multiposting and crossposting is already too
big for your feable mind, is it? Forget it. I'm not going to read any more
of your plain stupid remarks. You're out.

I see.


The biggest problem with multiposting is that helpful participants in
different groups can easily miss the fact that your question has been
answered or your problem has been solved by someone else in another
newsgroup. Therefore they start all over again. If they don't find out,
well, maybe there is no real harm done then. But if they do see they've
put affort in something already solved, well, you get the idea.
Furthermore, if answers are good in one groups, they are in any group. But
most of the times with multiposting a threat develops in one groups and
others are abandonned. A pitty for those who happen to be in the latter
group. If crossposted and f'up is set appropriately, atleast they know
where to go if they are interested in a topic.
