Learn how to cross-post. Se my reply in the other group.

What other group? Cross-posting sucks!

The OP posted individually to at least three related groups. This means that posters in each group have no idea what others have said in reply and thus cannot learn from the replies.

Crossposting is perfectly acceptable and relevant provided the groups included are related to the subject. Crossposting is NOT synonymous with spam, whatever the ill-informed may think.

Ok. So what about those leaking struts, then?

See the problem here? A correctly crossposted message would have been updated in all the places it was posted.

Go check my lengthy reply in alt.autos.honda. I'm not going to repeat myself here.

As admirable as your aims are, you may want to resist the temptation to post follow up replies to people like Vacant Railer, who didn't understand the perfectly clear explanation you gave in the first place and who, quite frankly, is never likely to "get it."

It's as productive as arguing with a top-poster about his habit. It's also like beating your head on a brick wall, it only feels good when you *stop* doing it.

Sorry, groups I normally use do not want/allow cross-posting.

I think I'll go look it up in Google, then.

Huh?

If these groups are not moderated, then they have no say in whether you cross-post or not. And if they are moderated and disallow cross-posting, then their moderators are not well versed in Usenet protocol.

Bad crossposting is when you crosspost to alt.hose.nozzles, rec.autos.zaporozhets, sci.soap.bubbles, and a dozen other unrelated groups with some sort of rant, troll or brainless query.

Not to be a NetKKKop, but your sig is wrong. You need a space character after the second hash. Look at mine. Good newsreaders will strip off a correctly configured sig on replying.

If you highlight your sig and mine, it will appear as though yours has a space character, but it does not. That's just the CR/LF character.
