I think it's perfectly reasonable to post to both net.movies and
net.sf-lovers.  I greatly enjoy review by the Leepers and Peter Rehert,
but I don't get out to enough movies to subscribe to net.movies.

Probably most SF novels shouldn't be posted to net.books; alas, printed
SF is a ghetto for both insiders and outsiders.  There are exceptions:
FOOTFALL is on the bestsellers lists, and reviews could quite reasonably
be posted to both groups (but *not* discussions on "Why would aliens
want our land/water/air/women?")

I subscribe to many of the net.micro groups.  I consider uncessary
cross-posting to me a minor problem there, and even less serious here.
