Can someone explain the reason why cross posting is so frowned upon? I
understand why people don't like it in binary groups (multiplying bandwidth consumption by the number of groups cross posted). However, I've never understood why simple discussions such as this are not supposed to be cross posted (at least when the subject is relevant). This fellow could have posted the same message 5 times (once to each group) to avoid "cross posting." However, the same bandwidth would have been consumed. If he truly wants to reach a larger audience, then why not cross post? Even the Usenet FAQ does not say anything to the negative of this practice: http://www.usenet.com/articles/cross_posting.htm Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to start crap with you, Dad. I'm just trying to better understand. Ryan "Dad" > wrote in message ... > Now fix the cross posting. > > -- > Dad > 04 C5 CE Z51 > 72 Shark Black/Black/4spd > > |

Does alt.autos.corvettes have a charter? My server does and they have warned
me that if I do it again they will suspend me. I was turned in by some pencil dick from the UK that didn't like what I did. Next day I got a warning. That is enough for me to be told, how about you? Do you remember how many this was posted to? Seventeen replies and he never said what the vehicle was. It was a dumb post and it got 17 replies to 5 news groups. It would only be a guess as to how many he got on the other groups as the excess baggage was cut off. It is not illegal just bad manners and if some people don't like it why do it? Like I said, my server warned me because of a complaint, nothing generally happens on these groups because they have no moderators. Do what you wish, there is no reason I know for anyone to listen to me. Advanced Usenet - Cross-Posting Summary: Cross-posting should be limited to a small number of directly related groups. You can "cross-post" your message to more than one newsgroup if your message is relevant to more than one group. Cross-posting is easy to do, and similar to emailing to more than one person. Simply put a comma between each newsgroup name you wish to post to in the address field. However, remember that excessive cross-posting is considered bad form without a good reason, because it multiplies the traffic on the Internet several times without adding any new content. In the extreme case, if everybody cross-posted every message to every group, then every group would look exactly the same! You should cross-post only when really needed, and usually not to more than three groups. All cross-posted groups should be closely related. It is considered very bad form to cross-post a message to unrelated groups, and could cause you to receive a large number of complaints by email. Because cross-posting of commercial advertisements has become a problem, some news servers will ignore any message cross-posted to too many groups -- depending on their configuration, somewhere between five and fifteen is the usual limit. When you cross-post an article to more than one group, you may want to specify that all responses should be directed to a single group. If your software supports it, this is done with a "Followup-To" header that specifies the group that all replies should be directed to. If you set such a header, it is also considered polite to mention that fact in your message, with a statement something like the following: (Followups redirected to alt.misc.thoughts) -- Dad 04 C5 CE Z51 72 Shark Black/Black/4spd "RWDoyle" > wrote in message ... > Can someone explain the reason why cross posting is so frowned upon?
