I didn't think it was possible to have more diarrhea of the mouth
and less character than Andy, but you've succeeded.

Not my experience. Yesterday for breakfast I had a small steak with truffle
sauce and it was splendid.

Stop cross posting. The entire world is not interested in your every word.

Then I think you should go to each separately, because this is very
irritating. I frequent both groups. If you look you will see that people
have un-crossed to respond. It's a huge mess. People have asked you to
stop. You won't. You will end up being ignored by people who otherwise
would have welcomed you and some new chatter.

My NSP frowns *heavily* on the multi-posting you suggest, so if I want
to hear people's opinion on both groups I have to x-post. If I
multi-post I may lose my account. I'm sorry if you find it irritating.

As do I.

All I can say is I hope they understand.

Thank you for your reply.

Are you absolutely sure? It's x-posting that is usually frowned upon!!!

I'm with Giusi on this one! You've just x-posted to ukdfm And a motor-bike
group. That means irrelevant replies from bikers on the food group.

Your incessant x-posting is just bad manners!

<snort> Your NSP is the oldest and 2nd largest troll and spam haven
known to Usenet. Nobody but trolls and spammers seek out an account
with alt.net. It usually indicates that you've been kicked off of a
dozen other NSP's by the time you resort to getting an alt.net
account.

It's too bad most everyone else can't see how phony you are. Give
them time. It'll eventually sink in. I'm never wrong about these
things.

Corey, hopefully as a helpful suggestion, if you do cross-post an
original post, please at least set the "followups to" one particular
newsgroup and foreword your original post as such. For example begin
your x-posted original post with: "cross-posted to example.newsgroup.a
and example.newsgroup.b with followups set to example.newsgroup.a".
Some folks, like me, frequent one newsgroup but not the other, and it's
no fun inadvertently posting a response to a(ny) newsgroup one does
subscribe to.

Hmm, maybe. But surely if you set the followups, one group of people
won't see the replies, opinions and discussion?

As the posts are on-topic and only x-posted to two relevant newsgroups,
is it really that much of a problem?

Thank you.

I STRONGLY disagree with this. If you start a thread in a group, it
should be for that group. What do you expect people to do, subscribe to
a group they don't normally read just to keep following the thread?

This is bad advice. Multi-posting is greatly frowned upon.

If the post is to go to two groups, then it should be cross-posted.

More importantly, why don't we cross-post every RFC thread to the
AUS and UK foood groups?

That's the real issue.

You really have to get fresh ones, as both black

and are useless canned.
