Crossposting

...I have never seen a cross-post in this NG that had anything to do with
woodworking...puppies, Jewish stuff and just plain crap but no woodworking.

If I hit the reply group and see more than one NG, I simply cancel and move
on. No sense feeding those that include this NG with their other unrelated
BS.

Cross posting is - as you surmise - posting a single message to more than
one group.
If you're using Outlook Express, then when you hit "Reply Group" you might
see more than one newsgroup in the "Newsgroups:" line. Simply mouse-up
there and delete all but the rec.woodworking group.

Unless the posts contain file attachments, don't worry about it. Tell them
to go scratch!

Next time you reply to a post, look at the To: line at the top - if
the original post was crossposted, your reply will be, too. You can edit
the To: line to elimidacate the crossposts.

Scott, helpful as ever

I wouldn't fret over it. There are some people who spent their days looking
for crossposts and top-posts. IMHO, a varient of the common, garden variety
troll.

Cross-posting has it's value at times. I could see questions about a lathe
going to a couple of groups, for example.
