But at least most newsreaders can track cross-posted threads, and
respond to each of the groups the previous message was posted to.

Random,


a crosspost is 1 post where you fill in a bunch of groups to post to.

a multipost is 3 posts (with the same or slightly altered content) that
you manually post to different groups (after carefull consideration:)

the 2nd option shows good intention, while the 1st option shows laziness

once you get the hang of it, you'll know which is the more appropriate
group to post to.

but start with just posting in 1 group. Some of us read and answer
questions in many groups and it's irritating to see (and answer) the
same question in different groups.


excel.worksheet.functions for Q&A re worksheet functions.
excel.programming for Q&A re VBA programming.

Not really an Excel question, but as I am a newbie and don't want to
break any of the guidelines for this extremely helpful group....

I recently saw a post where someone mentioned that multiposting? is
more acceptable than cross-posting. Can someone please explain what
these are or point me in the right direction, so that I do not
inadvertantly offend?

Thanks,
