This is not a flame but merely a suggestion.  I know that to get a response,
one has to post to multiple newsgroups especially for topics which are
difficult to classify.  However, in the return message, could those responding
edit the "Newsgroups" field to just include the newsgroup they are currently
reading? This way, it would cut down on the bandwidth wasted by numerous
repeated messages across two or more newgroups, yet keep the information
content about the same.  Comments, anyone?  Is there a better way?
