Need general information about PDAs

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops (More info?)

If you are going to ask the same question in multiple groups, please
post to all the groups at once, so we can all participate together. I
answered your question in comp.sys.handhelds.

Separate identical posts to multiple groups are worse than
cross-posting.

I've seen several other folks post notes like mine about posting to
all newsgroups at once. Once in a while, I've seen a complaint about
_excessive_ cross posting, especially when some of the groups are
inappropriate. Your reply is the first time I've seen anyone question
the suggestion to post simultaneously. I hope that doesn't mean folks
with contrary opinions feel inhibited. I think it means folks either
agree or don't care much. I'm genuinely curious about where you got
the idea that cross-posting simultaneously is unwanted.

Quite a few newsgroup denizens have strong opinions. At least some of
us try to state our preferences, but live with those of others. Some
folks get verbally abusive. And some folks simply ignore folks whose
behavior they don't like. No one can possibly satisfy everyone. With a
little practice, you'll find an approach that works for you.
