Well it wouldn't be waste of time, it wouldn't really take him any
longer, i'm sure you must be able to blind carbon copy to each
newsgroup.

There IS a point.  The point of it is so that the thread will never get
as big as it is now.  I doubt if very much that we are both reading this
thread from the same newsgroup.

I don't mind Next Generation posting, it's fine, it's just all the
people who reply to it saying "stop goddamn posting".  People will
always do that, so the way out of it is to not crosspost, just post to
each seperatly so that each reply will stay within that newsgroup and
not be recrossposted to 20 other.

In the interest of stopping this thread, I will not post again, so you
can call me whatever names you like when you reply to this, I won't be
replying :)
