It's no fault of the system, it's a fault of the sender: on usenet,
cross posting is *evil* and should be avoided


Wrong. On Usenet, cross-posting is much preferred to multi-posting, and
has been for the last 30+ years.

On a strictly logical basis, that does not necessarily mean he's wrong;
it could just be that multi-posting is even more evil.


No, cross-posting to a few *appropriate* newsgroups is not generally
considered evil by long-time usenet users, while multi-posting is.

There are times when posting to multiple newsgroups is appropriate.

Like when the self-appointed "administrators" can't get people to post to
their moderated newsgroup, so they cross post junk from elsewhere between
the free newsgroups and their moderated newsgroup?

They aren't even being selective, we get the teasers but most of the time
no real content. What does Boz Scaggs have to do with amateur radio?
ONe of these junk posts had no relationship to amateur radio, yet we had
to walk through it. They aren't even consistent, stuff goes to .equipment
better suited for another of the sub-groups, we see the same thing here in
..homebrew.
