Newsadmins who auto-cancel cross-posts are acting counter-productively and censorously.
I'm not aware of anybody that does that. The only crossposts that are killed are those that reach a BI of 20, and for a single post to do that would require the message to be crossposted to 400 newsgroups. Which doesn't happen. It might interest you to know that a cancel will kill all the crossposts in a single message, BTW. Your "cancelling 99 of the 100 articles thing" does save lots of reader time. (If you're going to talk about cancels authoritatively, please read my Cancel FAQ - it's got huge piles of information on this stuff.) - Tim Skirvin (tskirvin@uiuc.edu) -- Skirv's Homepage<*> The Killfile Dungeon Cancel FAQ
