I forget what 3 group cross-postings was, but I'd 'expect' it was around 1000 ... again, big deal. That is, I take these numbers as 'proof' that cross-posting isn't a problem. It may also be significant that I recognized few of those names. Most of them from my days when I was young and foolish (last spring) and I actually read soc.singles (along with comp.sys.amiga -- they're both in the top 5 in volume -- young and foolish I said). It makes me wonder which sorts of groups tend towards cross-posting ... (I read mainly technical groups). -- <---- David Herron -- The E-Mail guy <---- ska: David le casse\*' {rutgers,uunet}!ukma!david, david@UKMA.BITNET <---- Problem: how to get people to call ...; Solution: Completely reconfigure <---- your mail system then leave for a weeks vacation when 90% done.
