No it doesn't. Steve, I am sorry you don't get it.

If you cross-post, you only need to look for answers in *one* of the
groups ...

Exactly, instead of having to read all four groups you posted to...

In my newsreader I'm able to create "interest groups." It scans the groups
I
choose then gives me the filtered or unfiltered reply's.

Hmmm. News rover. Never heard of it.

I don't use "your" news reader. Nor I suspect do many of the people you are
asking help from. Nor I suspect do the different people who supplied you
with exactly the same answer in two or more disparate groups, unaware that
that same answer was already present one of the other another groups.

A gentle hint: multiposting is wasting *our* collective time. Continue and
we may not spend that time any more. You do want your next question
answered don't you?

Now, exactly how did you manage to reply to all of the multiposted groups
with a very long, and identical, message. Did you copy/paste it to each of
the four groups or does "your" newsreader *answer* to multiple groups as
well?

Cheers
Richard.

Steve Horrillo plastered all over usenet:

No I don't. Not if it's conditional. Please killfile me or don't answer if
that's your attitude. Same goes for real life.

Better yet...

<crafts a message filter that drops anything posted by anyone that contains
the phrase "News Rover" in the headers/>

Cheers and goodbye
Richard.

PS Please do not reply to this, you are cluttering up the place.

Effortless for you. Not for anyone else reading your myriad of posts.

Anything beyond the isp's rules is just Usenet commando rants.

No, it's commonly accepted Usenet conduct. You know, when in Rome etc.
If you want your questions answered, then you should follow the
conventions of the group you are asking them in.

That doesn't prove you didn't move to Britain. Not today anyway.

Same here. Raining all morning already.

It's allowed to now. The tennis is over.


Actually over here to day it was a bright sunny day, about 20%.
