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.

The problem with cross posting is that it almost always involves totally off
subject groups that respond and eventually you end up with a group and its
horde of trolls posting responses that end up here. Take the pet fiasco
that started because a wood worker here did not take enough precautions to
keep polyurethane glue away from her dog. That cross post to the pets
groups resulted in profanity in this group that lasted for months.
