First, flagging only affects the New Google Groups, and you can still
switch between the old and the new by clicking on your settings on the
top right.

When you cross-post to various groups, you increase the likely hood of
being flagged for posting stuff that isn't on topic or seen as spam.
You end up being flagged by me for posting Cantor's diagonal argument
in sci.physics.electromag, and by someone else for posting your
Faraday's law pseudo-particle-physics in sci.math, not to mention the
folks in sci.chem having their reasons.

So make it easier on yourself by posting one topic in one group from
now on to see how things progress.

Your Cantor diagonal argument generated a lot of good discussion in
sci.math, which then gets flagged by me in sci.physics.electromag,
which then ends up flagged in sci.math.

I also suggest sci.physics.particle as an option.

Regards,
Larry.

Larry,

You can make all the requests you want, but Archie will do whatever he
wants. He replies to his own posts, and posts them in whatever groups he
decides need to see them. Timmy's the same way, adding in the strange
formatting. In fact, I've wondered if Archie and Timmy are the same
person, so it doesn't look like Archie's still talking to himself.
