Author Cross posting?

Can someone explain this to me. Someone comes up with a question, like
about the digital recorder. Then do they select different groups on
which to post this question to all at once? Then do posters answering
this question get posted to all the different boards that the OP posted
their question to?

One of the groups stated that they help Google newbies to learn to
post. Well, if someone knows how to crosspost I would think that they
would also know proper net-ed. wouldn't you? I have asked questions on
other newsgroups, but I invidually went to the ones and asked a
separate question there, even if it might have interested some SMTers.

Shygirl's original post was to a whole bunch of newgroups, hence the cross
posting.

Neal,

I know that. I wonder how a person does that. And does that mean that
anyone who answers that post on SMT has their post go to every other
crossposted group? How does one know that it is crossposted until they
get replies from people we have never heard of before.

When you look at the heading of the message you have open it tells From To
and Subject just like any email message. In the To field it will say
sci.med.transcription if it's just to this group. If it's cross-posted it
will list everywhere else it was sent to. And when someone hits reply to
that message, if they don't go up in their To field and take out the other
groups, then, yes, it goes to every group it was originally cross-posted to.
It works the same way as any email you send.

On my newsreader (Mozilla) when I hit reply it shows which newsgroups it
is going to be posted to. Of course I don't generally look at that
specifically until someone complains about cross posting. I could
un-check the other NGs to remove from reply

I just use Scribera. I don't see anything that's been described here at
all.
