a.. If a message truly belongs in multiple groups, by all means cross-post.
In fact it is better to cross-post than to post the same message separately
to different groups.

This is in the links you sent kevin as netiquette I think but may be wrong
the groups I have crossed this to are all to do with windows 2000 or server,
i needed a quick response and apologise to you as you are obviously annoyed,
but I have always assumed that cross posting is in use to help keep track of
replies, have read all the netiquette groups as I am not ignorant and will
bare in mind, thank you for your help in the original post, still a little
unsure as to what price I need to be looking at to purchase SBS2003 as most
links i have been sent to seem to rope you in with a nice price and then
give you the sucker blow that it is for the upgrade price, best I have seen
is £380.
Anyway thanks again for pointing a few things out.
