XP SP3 Details?

One issue I'm a bit concerned about is that MS may use SP3 to try and to
"force feed" IE7 onto those of us that happen to believe that it's a POS.

But you ARE replying to a cross-posted message, which
automatically makes your reply cross-posted as well. I can't
tell you what's wrong with your newsreader, but your posts are
definitely cross-posted, as are all of the posts in this
thread.

Well, since Xnews isn't warning me - this time - then I either
cross-post my replies or don't post at all. But, since the number
is rather small and the major objectors even smaller, 1, 2, maybe
3, so what? I just heard from Ken Blake, an MVP, who doesn't seem
to have any problem with the small-scale cross-posting that goes on
here and serveral other people have told me that they're not
particularly annoyed, so why doesn't everybody just let it drop.

Better still, why not whack on the OP for doing it, and leave the
people either trying to help or evolving the thread into other
useful directions alone? In other words, live and let live.
 
I certainly agree. Just wanted to make your own technical X-post issue
clear, at least from this viewpoint, <s>.
