This seems like a metalworking tool, so you might try crossposting to

Please don't suggest crossposting. The OP can POST in the other group,
rather than CROSS post.

What's wrong with crossposting? As long as it's only to 2 or 3 groups,
it's
acceptable netiquette. The nice thing for people who might read both
groups
is that an intelligent newsreader will only show the article one time.

Yep, cross-posting has gotten a bad rap because of the abuse of
cross-posting. Done properly it not only helps the reader, but also
prevents having duplicate copies of the same message stored on news
servers.

The funny thing is that what Dave is suggesting, multiposting, was what was
especially frowned upon.
