You may not know that Multi-posting is antisocial in the Usenet community.

If you are going to ask the same question in more than one newsgroup,
crosspost. You conserve resources on NNTP servers, and other readers
see the follow up answers and do not have to provide the same answer.

Also, once a reader has "read" a message in one group, they do
not have to see it again unless someone has provided a follow up.

To crosspost, just add a comma and the other newsgroup(s).

If you do cross post, do not get carried away. Pick suitable groups.
Example: for a scanner
linux.redhat.install,comp.periphs.scanner,alt.comp.periphs.scanners

See http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/usenet/xpost.html

See answer given to your post in other news group you posted to.
