(What's with the crossposting?)


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

DVB-T stands for Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial and it is
the DVB European consortium standard for the broadcast transmission of
digital terrestrial television. This system transmits an MPEG-2 family
digital audio/video stream, using OFDM modulation with concatenated
channel coding.

Why not? It's the way to get the largest discussion going.

In that case, why stop at 5 groups? You've been around long enough to
know better.

What is your problem with that? The alternative, to find enough
knowledgeable people to answer, would be to post individual messages
in the separate groups. By crossposting to multiple relevant groups
way we all get to see the answers, if someone from another groups has
it.

The US market is different from the British market.

Because I decided that these were the only relevant groups. If I
thought there were more, then I would have included them.

>You've been around long enough to know better.

Better than what? There is nothing wrong with crossposting as long as
the groups are all relevant.

Nope, the alternative is to post in one or two of the most
on-topic, relevant groups... particularly when the topic
isn't very specialized or obscure.

Exactly, but "all get to see" is not a positive thing.
It's an incredible amount of noise degrading the function of
any and all groups, a waste of bandwidth and strain on news
servers as well.

If you want to see information on a given topic, frequent
that specific newsgroup. It meets all goals better than
having tons of loosely related posts redundantly flooding
everywhere.

Many of the more experienced posters will not answer
messages cross-posted to too many groups, it can actually
decrease the quality of responses and you'll get people with
limited knowledge on the topic "volunteering" information
with those who know more, not reading it at all.

In short, there's a reason why there are some many separate
groups, exactly and specifically to keep posts isolated to
appropriate topics and cut down on traffic.
