Actually I have no wish to. I used to crosspost sometimes, but now I 
find the process mostly annoying and confusing -- particularly as 
practised by HH (who never attributes properly) and by various political 
idiots who still intrude onto a.u.e. So when TB tells me I can't post 
something I've written because it's going to two or more newsgroups, I 
know how to remove all but the one I want.
