What are you using to make the post?

I use outlook express, and I just paste in the names of all the newsgroups I
want to post to, separated by a semicolon. Works like a charm.

I use the msn newsgroup wepage:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet ...

And cross posting is not an obvious creature.

I think I have it though.

Mark,

Exactly, than it is not possible. Can be, however try than to post to the
most approperiate newsgroup. Multiposter do often get no or only short
answer after a while.

Or try to use Outlook for sure a more simple way for visiting a newsgroup.
It is not impossible that it starts when you click on this link which is to
this newsgroup.

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet

Otherwise it has to be as it is.

:-)
