r.a.student stripped, as I don't follow it.

I wish you would stop doing that.

Assuming the original cross-post was valid (and it's true, it not always
is), the mere fact that YOU don't follow a particular newsgroup is a lousy
reason to take that newsgroup from the newsgroup line.

The whole point of cross-posting is to that the ENTIRE thread can be
followed by multiple newsgroup. When you take a newsgroup out just because
you're not reading the other newsgroup, you negate the whole point of
cross-posting. Doing so just because you don't read the other newsgroup is
silly.

If you object to cross-posting, either a specific instance or generally,
then say so. But if your objection is to posting to newsgroup you don't
read, that's just nonsense.

Ironically, in this particular instance, you weren't even contributing
anything. You were asking for a clarification. Which means you have
artificially limited the audience to whom your question was posed, reducing
the chances of you getting an answer. If "nrp" saw this thread in
r.a.student, he'll never see your question, and won't answer it. Duh.
