Also you should refrain from posting your questions multiple times individually to different groups.
If you really think you need the bigger audience (which you don't as most people replying monitor all three groups, and not seeing someone else's reply is a real nuisance, as I don't want to spend time on a question already responded too) you should crosspost. I strongly recommend you to refrain from crossposting also. .server is intended for the database
.tools for Designer and Developer
and .misc for everything else.
