I'm surprised these still haven't shown up on DVD they did fairly well in
the aftermarket viewerships. I still remember seeing these spoof enspired
comedies in the theaters as a kid and would love to add them to my DVD
collection. Hopefully they will get a facelife on the Audio/Video for their
DVD premiers.

If you _must_ do this (and usually it's not appropriate), then
please crosspost properly.

When you multipost, as you did, you waste everyone's time by
starting separate threads. People waste time responding to one
thread with points that have already been posted to the other. You
waste time checking two places for answers instead of one. Servers
waste time (and bandwidth) transmitting duplicate articles. And
everyone wastes time by downloading multiple copies of the same
thing.

This is explained in many FAQs, including

How can it be a waste of other peoples time.. for the poster (me in this
case) its a way to maximize exposure so the intended audiance has a better
chance of seeing it. What these posts do not do is waste anyones time. If
anyone didn't want to see it, they SIMPLY do not have to read it.. its not
like it was a some LONG post or anything.. These posts are not meant to
gain negative or positive feedback, but merely to share a personal request
of what I would like to see on. This does not mean you or anyone else wants
it or not and was not posted as such, not was it in anyway misleading.
Newsgroups are for world wide use by everyone to share idea's, thoughts,
user-to-user assistance,etc.. not your personal regulated chat groups. My
apologies if anyone is offended, but it is everyone's right to post whatever
they want... My post was neither harmful, misleading or in anyway hurting
anyone, you appearently think these things are just for you I guess.. Get
over it dude, are you mental or something?

By-the-way .. my xpostings will not sent properly, thus why I had to post
separate postings in the first place.

Haven't figured that out yet.. yes I am using OE and if I put a xpost in and
submit it only posts to the current one.

| You're using Outlook Express; why shouldn't it be able to crosspost?
