GPS and Beyond: The SatNav Transition for aviation

... [post to five very different newsgroups] Please stop cross-posting so widely. You are making it a habit, and most of the time it's quite inappropriate. Thank you. |

... Five groups are seen as normal. 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. Maybe what we need is less newsgroups. Nope. Things will be fine if people (you) will just pay better attention to proper etiquette. Pete |

R.,
Maybe what we need is less newsgroups. Less crossposting will do fine. I think five groups is totally excessive. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
