  When you do, please also note *which* newsgroups were snipped, so
readers are informed, especially about troll-groups like this.

  Crossposting doesn't involve multiple news*servers*, only multiple
news*groups*. However it is possible that your newsserver (Eternal
September) limits the number of groups in a crosspost. AFAIK, 4 is a
common limit. The OP was crossposted to 5 groups.
