Please stop cross-posting so widely. You are making it a habit, and most of
the time it's quite inappropriate.

Thank you.

Wrong. Five groups are almost always excessive cross-posting. It's even
worse when you have not provided any original content yourself and are just
reposting someone else's article. Frankly, most of the time posts like that
could just as easily not have been posted at all, given that you provided no
context, nor any of your own commentary on the article. (Of course, it sure
doesn't help things when you post the same article twice).

> And the topic applies to each of the groups.

Wrong again. There was absolutely no content in the article that was
specific to rec.aviation.military, rec.aviation.homebuilt, or
rec.aviation.owning.

As a generic GPS topic, it's only barely on-topic here in
rec.aviation.piloting, but it's very poor form to cross-post between groups
that have basically no overlap in readership (rec.aviation.piloting and
sci.geo.satellite-nav), as any follow-up from each group is almost certainly
going to be irrelevant in the other group.

Perhaps this would be more clear to you if you would take the time to read
the charters for each newsgroup. This is not the only thread where you have
cross-posted to several newsgroups, most of which did not belong.

Nope. Things will be fine if people (you) will just pay better attention to
proper etiquette.

Less crossposting will do fine. I think five groups is totally
excessive.
