I believe it would depend on how important the question is, being
directly proportionate to the number of groups cross-posted to.

Others would say something completely different.

That being said, Brad, How important is your question to you?

I was talking about your question, "why would anyone post to ten


groups unless it was some kind of spam".

People do it all the time. Do you know what a BI count is? Do you know
what spam is?

No, I don't know what you're talking about here.

In all actuality, the groups that I cross-posted to, are common
groups, except one.

By the way, Brad, If you're wanting to arrive at the grave skidding in
sideways, totally worn out, you'll have to quit worrying about
offending people, and learn to write to word "FUCK" or "SHIT" or
"CRAP" or whatever it is that you mean here.
