get the following message:-

Learn to cross-post!

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.
