cross-post
|
|
|
|
vi. [Usenet; very common] To post a single article simultaneously to several
|
|
newsgroups. Distinguished from posting the article repeatedly, once to each
|
|
newsgroup, which causes people to see it multiple times (which is very bad
|
|
form). Gratuitous cross-posting without a Followup-To line directing
|
|
responses to a single followup group is frowned upon, as it tends to cause
|
|
followup articles to go to inappropriate newsgroups when people respond to
|
|
various parts of the original posting.
