Does anyone know how to make a post to this group and
rec.food.equipment at the same time using Google Groups as my portal?
Thanks Until then I'll just copy my knife and knife block question
posts in this forum one at a time.

Crossposting is a highly unsavory practice, labels you a filthy
douchebag... don't do it... you've been warned.

That is what spammers do. Do your own homework.

Crossposting to 2 related groups is not a big deal, and
does save some disk space on news servers. I personally
filter any crossposts to more than 2 groups because I've
found those are 99.9% spam, trolls, or pointless drivel.
But, there is nothing in particular wrong with crossposting
a question about, for example, what type of equipment might
be best for some kitchen task or another between those two
groups. Saves people from reading the same thing twice and
it would be on topic in both places.

As for how to do it, that is news reader specific and the
OP didn't mention which news reader he's using.

Thank god there's at least one other person here with some common
sense WRT newsgroup protocols. ;-)

I should have thought that for most, if not all, it was simply a
matter of typing the group names in the Newsgroups: header field with
a separator between them -- a comma is usually acceptable.

Cheers, Phred.

Yes it is a big ****ing deal... that's exactly how an avalanche
starts... soon as you cross post to another group you have no way to
prevent the assholes in that group from crossposting to dozens of
other groups... that's how some dumb douchebag WOP invited that chinky
slant eyed mother****er and all his butt ****ing jesus brethern and
25� whoring virgin mary sisterern. No crossposting, not for any
reason whatsoever, NONE! We all need to work together to keep rfc
pure and clean.

And, your words are a perfect example of your meaning of "pure and
clean". Nice choice of words, Shel.

Just so there'd be no misunderstanding... take notes... there'll be a
test at a future date. LOL

Using Google Groups as the portal to these 2 usenet groups there is no
area where the group name is entered. Once you are in a group looking
for anything you can click on "new post" if you want to start a new
thread. If you are reading a thread you can "reply". Those seem to be
the only choices. But just copying each new thread start-up and
putting the identical question in each group will have to do for now.
