I just posted a reply to someone with a problem in the free.uk.diy.home
group and it has appeared as a subject in the uk.diy news group

Is there really any needs to have the two news groups and if so they must in
some weird way be interlinked

The whole of that thread was cross-posted to both groups. Hence your
reply appeared in both.

Need? Well both groups have posters. But uk.d-i-y gets an awful lot more
posts.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "RonOB"
saying something like:

The original was cross-posted, that's why.
Now you've found uk.d-i-y your life will improve immeasurably.

Yes I was aware of uk.diy got a new computer and searched the usenets groups
for diy and at first this group didn't appear only the free.uk.diy, so I
initially thought this group had changed names, then looking for another
group a few days later I found this group hadn't gone after all. I do prefer
this group I must say - don't know why but there we go

That's normal - it's because the person who set it up used dashes,
seemed like an idea at the time, I suppose. He's still around for
castigation purposes.

Don't worry, you'll soon find the eejits to avoid.
