Could you please post in one group only...


I love usenet and I endeavor to be a "good citizen" in this space. I
am very interested in your post.

Would you please explain your reasoning. Here is mine:

1. My post is relevant to all three news groups.
2. By cross-posting, I arrange that an individual using a decent
newsreader will only see my post once, even if he habitually reads
all three news groups.

I look forward to your response Mr. Vuori.


Following that line of reasoning, isn't your post relevant in
rec.photo.digital.zlr as well?

But your reasoning is flawed. If something is of general interest, it
should only be in rec.photo.digital. The aim of splitting the newsgroups
was to reduce the number of postings, and help people focus on their own
interest better. There was no intention to replace the rec.photo.digital
group.

It would be better to restrict your posting to just one group if possible.

Thanks,
David
