I am sorry but I only post to related newsgroups with the

I'm not sure what groups you posted to, but I noticed your post
in microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics and in
microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize.
Most of us follow both groups (as well as several Windows XP
groups), so you don't substantially increase your audience by
posting in both.
But that wasn't my point. I don't mind if you want to post to
several groups. I was commenting on the *way* you did it. See
below.
I do not
want absolutely disturb members of groups.
My point was that way you did it disturbs people more than if you
crossposted properly.
What you mean by crosspost ?
There are two ways to send messages to more than one group
1. Sending each message as a new separate message. That's the way
you did it. It's called multiposting, and it's bad for the
reasons I explained.
2. Sending a single message, but addressing it to multiple
groups. That's called crossposting, and is the preferred way to
do it.
If you haven't done so, please refer to the web site, I cited:

newsgroups?" at
