Why would crossposting not show a message in each group it is crossposted? You may hit limits of number of groups, but you usually only want 2 or 3 at most anyway. Multiposting just causes readers to show the same message unread in each group, even though you have already read it. > some readers, especially the younger generation, do not use anything but > smartphones; whereas many seniors (e.g. myself) have never used anything > but desktop/laptop computers since the xt, trs-80, etc., were in diapers > > *hint: to satisfy "net-cop" trolls, make each seperately posted message > slightly different as with this reply e.g. by adding a few extra spaces > and/or actually note to where it was also posted...(comp.mobile.android) I would assume that if your server blocks multiposts, and you want to multipost, use a different server. These are my opinions, and my opinions have been known to be wrong at times.
