|
|||
|
|
several newsgroups. Distinguished from posting the article repeatedly,
|
|||
|
|
once to each newsgroup, which causes people to see it multiple times (which
|
|||
|
|
is very bad form). Gratuitous cross-posting without a Followup-To line
|
|||
|
|
directing responses to a single followup group is frowned upon, as it tends
|
|||
|
|
to cause <a href="../F/followup.html"><i class="glossterm">followup</i></a> articles to go to inappropriate
|
|||
|
|
newsgroups when people respond to various parts of the original posting.
