cross-post [Usenet] /vi./ 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 only one part of the original posting.
