Message: [QUOTE="Oliver Vukovics, post: 4414525"] Hi Brian, at first thank you for the explanation As a german I have to learn the difference between different word and different NGs.. I saw the identical question in 2 different newsgroups, so I thought it was a "crossposting" and I thought a crossposting in NGs is not OK. I found this part of "Netikette" on a german microsoft website: [URL]http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;DE;NGNetikette[/URL] Versenden Sie keine Multipostings oder Crosspostings Geben Sie beim Posten einer Nachricht nicht unnötig mehrere Newsgroupnamen als Ziel an (Crossposting). Stellen Sie Ihr Posting auch nicht nacheinander in verschiedene Newsgroups (Multiposting). Neben der längeren Downloadzeit nervt es die User, die in mehreren Newsgroups mitlesen, wenn sie immer wieder auf dasselbe Posting stoßen. English "translation": Do not dispatch Multipostings or Crosspostings If you post a message do not make unnecessarily the same posting in several newsgroup (Crossposting). Do not place your posting also successively into different newsgroup (Multiposting). Apart from the longer "download time" it disturbs the users, who read in several newsgroup, if they have to read the same posting again and again. So microsoft write (in Germany) that Crosspostings and Multipostings are not OK. Is it different in english newsgroups because english newsgroups were more flexible/tolerant? -- Oliver Vukovics Share Outlook without Exchange: Public ShareFolder Share your contacts, calendars or e-mails [URL]http://www.publicshareware.com[/URL] [/QUOTE]
