thank you for your reply . . . i've seen clips from "canal+" and other
european tv stations in some british documentaries posted in streaming
formats; cross-posting to the usenet newsgroups may have seemed like a
good idea at the time, but the mondation of '93 aka "eternal september"
flooded usenet into the meslee; one or two cross-posted newsgroups may
seem reasonable to some, but posting articles separately, one group at
a time i.e. without cross-posting, makes better sense, irrespective of
what some have called "multi-posting" because not all usenet newsgroup
subscribers, contributors, lurkers, etc., are actually reading in more
than one of those included newsgroups; anyone can assign "follow-up to"
when replying to articles that were posted in one newsgroup to another
newsgroup (etiquette to announce follow-up in body of reply), so there
was never any need for the inherently awkward praxis of "cross-posting"
