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.
