"If you feel an article will be
of interest to more than one Newsgroup,
be sure to CROSSPOST the article rather
than individually post it to those groups."

"I remind you that cross-posting is not
spamming. With cross-posting, only a single
article is sent into each news server. With
spamming, you have many separate copies of
the same article sent to different
newsgroups."
