Message-ID: <155@auvax.UUCP> Date: Tue, 5-Jul-83 19:02:35 EDT In response to the religious individual who wishs to force his absurd views based upon some old scrawled papers upon the net, would he please keep his comments to net.religion where they belong and not in other groups so that people who do not wish to waste their time reading mindless tripe about religion can view miscellaneous information that might be of some interest. Although this is pointed towards one particular letter which I read, people should have the common courtisy to attempt to post to only one news group. I've seen up to seven news groups posted to simultaneously. Don Martin Athabasca University No! If an article belongs in more than one group, by all means post it to more than one. You should only draw the line when you're planning to submit to a miscellaneous group and a specific group, and the article isn't a followup to something else. To clear up assorted myths: if an article is posted once, but to multiple groups, it will be transmitted once, stored once, and presented once (the latter holds only if both groups are read during the same readnews session). The ability to post articles to multiple groups was an essential part of the original design, because too many submissions don't fit neatly into one heading. As Mark has mentioned, the real crime is to post the same thing twice. --Steve
