Hi,
Allow me to drop in here.
Jerry was only warning you that multiposting can work against you.
If I see the same question in more newsgroups I follow, I almost never
answer because I don't know where to answer, and am unsure if the poster is
checking them all. Even if I perfectly well know how to help.
So you can ask for conventions and such, but that won't help. You can find
1000 opinionson how to behave on usenet.
Bottomline is that many do not appreciate multipost, and in the end it will
work against you.
(Just ment as a kind word of advise)
Best of luck,
Erwin Moller
