Unless the readers of one, both, or all of the groups object to it.

Crossposting almost always results in a ****ing match. I and others
could care less what a UK food group or a fast food group has to say
about anything unless they are here of their own accord rather than
being dragged in by a crosspost.

Recently there was a query about Chicago deep dish pizza. Greg had
good intentions and crossposted it into two Chicago groups he is
familiar with. I'm familiar with them also but don't post there. The
goofs came in and he toned it down, but the OP was either a fly-by or
was scared off. I'm guessing the latter.

Bandwidth crap is a lame excuse or google would not exist.

The correct way to post involves common sense. I know you don't have
any or you wouldn't have me in your killfile.
