Crossposting instead of separate posting would have saved at
least my time. When a message is crossposted, my
newsreader, Agent, displays it in only one of the
newsgroups. I found it in three because it was separately
posted in each.
I took the time to read the extra two to see if they were
different from the first one. They weren't.
