AAAAARGHHO!  It's been done again... or rather I have.  
Apologies one and all... I didn't look at or check the 
Newsgroups line above and so this is posted to at least 
two Usenet newsgroups... 

WHY?  Cross-posting is, in it's own sweet way, spam...

Leaving an article in the newsgroup where it originated 
is surely and usually a desirable and much better course 
of action?

One needs to ask:
Does everyone have to listen to me?
Does anyone want to listen to me?
Frequently the answer is a resounding "No!", on both counts.  

Best action... I guess for the most part... is not to crosspost!  
The world doesn't need to know... unless the comment is News of 
World Significance.

General conversational items on spam do not fit into that 
category.

Those that wish to subscribe to the more informative of the 
comp.sys.acorn.* will.  Those who do not wish to subscribe, 
deserve to have their wishes psychoanalyz..err.. respected.  

Those who wish to be Argonauts and subscribe to the 
argonet.* groups will.  Those who do not... will utilise 
other appendages... no doubt...
