<http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/posting-rules/part1/>

"Usually, it is sufficient to post any article to a single newsgroup; the
one that's most relevant to the subject of your article. If the article
is really relevant to multiple newsgroups, then "cross-post" to the
relevant newsgroups by posting the article only once with all newsgroups
named on the "Newsgroups" header line."

"Don't excessively cross-post"

"Cross-posting refers to posting a message to more than one group at a
time, in the same post.

If a message truly belongs in multiple groups, by all means cross-post. In
fact it is better to cross-post than to post the same message separately
to different groups."
