I see the local Mac groups as having two purposes: to answer questions that apply to one country (e.g. Cheap place to buy power supply, how do I get u-umlaut in my text) and to provide answers for those people too timid to post to the big groups because they're full of flame-wars and trolling. You obviously aren't part of the second group since you cross- posted to one of the big groups. Your question is not specific about any particular country: the answer isn't different just because you're in Australia, for example. I'd have said that posting it to c.s.m.s was fine but not the other two. Hell, at least you didn't add c.s.m.misc in too !
