I'll quickly admit (in writing) when I'm wrong, however after what I've
seen in numerious newsgroups through the years, you'll Never convince me
that I'm wrong this Time!
I learned my lesson the Right Way, I Watched and Learned from the
mistakes of others where crossposting is concerned! Maybe the rules ARE
different in non-binary groups, however in Most if not ALL of the Binary
newsgroups (which I'll admit are mostly, but not all Adult) I've visited
over the years, Crossposters are Flamed, Kill Filtered, and/or in some
rare cases have complaints sent to their ISP's.
Granted I have no idea what you've learned since you first started
visiting newsgroups, let alone which groups you've visited, or even how
long you've been visiting newsgroups. However I suspect that at least
where Binary newsgroups are concerned, my experiences in numerious
newsgroups since 1995 are Just as Valid as Yours!
So while you MIGHT be Right about Crossposting here or in other text
groups where I guess Flame Wars Lasting YEARS have Never taken place...
However in my experience, you're Wrong concerning Crossposting to ALL
newsgroups and Especially where Binary Newsgroups are concerned!
So, think about it, am I wrong to tell people not to Crosspost knowing
that they'll risk getting flamed for crossposting to other less
understanding newsgroups? Or in retrospect was I right? I respect the
fact that you're entitled to your Opinion, but Don't TRY to say I'm
wrong Just Because I DON"T Agree with You!
That's my 2¢,
