Re: Windows Defender / Unwanted Items

Sorry about being ignorant in "cross posting". Never heard of it. Didn't
realize I was being rude. I don't really understand how these newsgroups
work.

My apologies.

WD identified some spyware/adware on my machine the other day and when I
tell it to "Remove" or "Quarantine" I get an error message that says:


When posting the SAME message in multiple groups, it is considered rude to
multipost multiple disconnected copies of your message. Learn to
crosspost!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossposting
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/usenet/xpost.html

A point not made is that N multiposted copies will consume N times the
space for separate copies of the same post. Crossposted messages have
just *one* copy on the server and the groups simply have pointers back to
that same single copy. Multiposting wastes disk space on the server. Yes,
your post is small but remember that you consume N times the space on one
server and then do so on all the newsgroups servers worldwide.

Crossposting helps readers in one group see the replies from those in
another RELATED newsgroup to which you copied your post. That way, they
don't waste their time duplicating similar replies that already exist.

See replies in other groups to which you choose to disconnect the readers
from seeing others' replies.
