Hi,

My reason is that it's getting hard and really heavy to follow all 
threads spreading over more than one newsgroup.

These threads have the potention to get split up and the information 
from one thread segmented on multiple forums.

At least setting the mail-header appropriately would be the minimum I'd 
expect someone to care about so that all answers get to the appropriate 
forum. I sometimes have the feeling that people don't follow the 
guidelines from former days where you searched the forum a bit before 
you posted a question.

If people would do that I'd say one could easily find out to which forum 
they have to post to. For me crossposting most of the times tells me 
that one hasn't done the above. Why should I/someoneelse then bother to 
answer his/her question? I think some guys out there are missusing 
newsgroups to let others solve problem they could have solved their own 
IF they only booted their brain :-)
