[`comp.lang.c++' added; this message was multi-posted

Here is link to context which does not show up on `comp.lang.c++':

Well, if you forgot a group; fine. However, it's better to simply cross-post
instead of multi-post. I added `comp.lang.c++' and all follow-ups will
include that group. See, responders on this group will not be able to see
correspondence on others groups that you posted to (e.g., comp.lang.c++).


> bad move?

Na; you most likely forgot to add a C++ list in the message broadcast.

If you want to share something with multiple groups, it is better to
cross-post (posting one message to multiple groups by listing them all
in the Newsgroups: header) than to multi-post (posting the same message
separately to multiple groups). Multi-posting is generally frowned
upon; cross-posting to a reasonably small number of groups is generally
accepted, so long as the topic is relevant to all of them and not
flamebait.

The message here, and this reply, was cross-posted to both
comp.programming and comp.programming.threads; evidently, you also
multi-posted to comp.lang.c++.
