Crossposting to 5 lists?

Bandwidth, no, but if you cross-post the same question on 5 lists, or even just pose the same question with single posts w/o waiting for someone to answer the question you are wasting people on this. You will probably spawn 5 different threads on each list for the same topic, and people will feel fooled. > >>The spam argument is easily dismissed once you notice that > >>linux-kernel@ is almost 100% spam free despite being open. > > > >http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/8/146 > > I stand corrected.
