It's really bad to multipost, if you ask the same question in more than one
newsgroup, then do a crosspost, this makes it easier for you to find the
replies to your question, people can see all the replies regardless which
newsgroup they are subscribing. You won't get multiple posts with the same
answer... the list can be done longer... now you have to find the right
newsgroup where you already got an answer to your question.
