It is of interest to both newsgroup, and so that the thread doesn't even involve much trolling. In cases like this, I don't feel like I should have to cut any of these two newsgroups from the cross-posting chain. the last one to hit this group from that thread (not from you, from someone else) was crossposted to: rec.food.veg, sci.med.nutrition, alt.support.diet, misc.education, misc.kids.health I will admit that there have been times when I have been a little too quick to reply, and I haven't checked the half dozen newsgroups that some cross-post to in an attempt to troll. Especially when this kind of thing happens in the middle of a heated thread which used to be kept to a single newsgroup for long. I will try to check that line and trim it in the future... Thanks, that's all I'm asking. Your posts are going into groups where you don't participate. I don't care who STARTED it (now I sound like a mother) but the fact is, you're keeping it going every time you don't snip a header. He who throws the first stone... I googled on you, you did do that a few times too... Mistakes happen. Those weren't mistakes, if you're talking about the ones in the past few days. Go read them: I've been replying to all these cross-posted threads (snipping ASD) and asking that people snip headers. I do sometimes cross-post to groups when I would be putting the same post in more than one place, i.e., I could duplicate it and run it in the group or I could cross-post it and run it only once. The problem with that is that some of my friends in other groups don't play nice wtih the people in this group. It has a particular flavor when ASD is running right and cross-posting leaves an off-flavor, as it were. If someone is cross-posting into here and I want to discuss something with them I usually just tell them that I'm snipping the cross-posting and ask that they take it to a specific group, i.e., I go to sci.med.nutrition or they come to ASD. It's not fool-proof and it doesn't come up all that often, but the Chung invasion has left me ****ed off about cross-posting. Sorry you got the brunt of it. Dally, shining up her "net cop" badge |

You go lictor. Dally's the biggest fattest bitch. You're absolutely
right,she does have issues and whine's about her problems/fatness. She never helps but puts down everyone thinking she's the ****. Well I've seen her pic before,and it's true she sure as hell looks like **** to me. Dally, as i've said in another post, go **** youself. |

It is his fault AND your fault if you respond to posts and not trim headers.
How is it not his fault for being too lazy to trim headers? "Ignoramus22259" if it is diet related, it belongs to this newsgroup... it is not Lictor's fault that some threads were started elsewhere. i |

IMO, cross posting is a sign of complete laziness by the OP. If one wants to make a point in several NGs, then go into each one separately and make the point. that uses more bandwidth than crossposting does. crossposting perfectly legitimate if it's done correctly. http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/usenet/xpost.html |
