Why was this same article multi-posted to several groups? I just
read it over in c.o.l.hardware, too.

If you feel an article should be sent to more than one group, it is
preferable to cross-post it (putting all the newsgroups together on
one Newsgroups: line, separated by commas) instead of multi-posting
separate copies to each group. There are many places to read up on
the details of why cross-posting is better than multi-posting,
including RFC 1855 "Netiquette Guidelines" at http://www.ietf.org/.

And if one cross-posts then it seems that folks get all over your
case for cross-posting. Give it a rest, will you?

Very simply handled by setting follow-ups to a single newsgroup in
THE ORIGINAL post.
