Ok, so some of you use Tin, RN, NN or other clever non-nextish newsreader. But there are a hoard of us who use NewsGrazer with all it's faults. So I see the same article two, three, ... many times when some idgit cross posts. Most of us read most of the groups, so cross posting isn't necessary. If it clearly fits into one group, put it there. If sort of fits in two, flip a coin. (e.g. a printer problem could be hardware or sysadmin) Chances are pretty good that whoever has something cogent to say reads both of those groups anyway. cat /dev/null > Flames
