WHAT IS EXCESSIVE CROSSPOSTING” TO NEWSGROUPS ?

Crossposting is the situation of the same message crossreferenced so that it appears in multiple newsgroups. Using the same number as in our previous example the message still appears in 9 newsgroups but the server only downloads one copy and copies it into the “other” newsgroups. Each “newsgroup” line in each newsgroup shows all 9 newsgroups listed. Again, it is highly unlikely a message would be “appropriate” in so many different newsgroups.
