Cross-posting to net.flame (or to any newsgroup for that matter): Don't do it!! At least not in the ordinary way (ie putting all the group names in the newsgroup: line). Instead, make a copy of the posting, and send each one to what you consider the appropriate newsgroups *SEPERATELY*!!! This way, each group gets a crack at building (or tearing apart) a worthwhile (or not) discussion concerning the subject *without disturbing other newsgroups*! The moral is: Never post to more then one newsgroup at a time. Chris Andersen (aka "The Stranger") PRESERVE THE NET: Pickle an asshole today!
