Yes. Thank you.

That is the gist of my question; why not simply reply to the post? What
is the purpose of reducing one's reply to a single group rather than
posting the reply in all of the groups the question was posted to?

Understand that this is a genuine question; I am aware of the trolls and
******** who post to groups which could have no possible interest in the
material; posting a question about Honda suspension to
alt.jehovahs.witness, and that sort of thing. That is not what I am
referring to.

Wait. I have just looked at the original headers, and I see that the OP
did not cross-post.

This makes Tegger's response eminently sensible to me *although I would
simply have put both newsgroups in my response) but begs the question,
"Why did dolodiaz post the way he/she did?" Note that I don't expect
anyone to know...

Interesting.

Because like a lot of people, he is unaware of correct Usenet etiquette. He
has MULTIposted instead of crossposting.

Multiposting is poor form because you may end up making fools of those who
engage in a debate in one group, unaware that someone in another group may
have given the best and most informative answer yet.

I refuse to condone multi-posting. I will put my answer in one place, then
point to that.

Dave,

I did not cross-post out of ignorance, I did not know this option was
available since this is my first time using Usenet. Sorry about all
the confusion and please forgive my sloppy posting etiquette
