[post on why cross-posting is bad... bad (said a la GHWB) deleted]

Sherwood,
   and others who feel this way...  I use NG myself, and I too am annoyed by  
cross-posts, but I disagree.  Someone, someday, must simply fix NG or create  
something better.  We are not, nor should we, ever going to eliminate  
cross-posting.  They have their purpose.
    That said, do think before you cross post.  Sometimes it is quite  
unnecessary.
    I hope that clears it up for everybody. :-)
