One of the reasons to have a new newsgroup, is to DECREASE the waste of net 
bandwidth. Cross-posting INCREASES the waste of net bandwidth.

JUST SAY NO to cross-postings.  If you want to read comp.sys.amiga.tech, add
it to your .newsrc file, and tell your News administrator that you want to
read it.
