Just for your information: there is crossposting and multiposting. [Quoted] Multiposting means you are posting your requests *several times* INDEPENDENTLY to different newsgroups. Most newsreaders won't detect that and if you enable crossposting on subject level: one different byte and the newsreader won't detect it, much like Oracle doesn't detect hardcoded literals being identical. [Quoted] Please DO NOT promote CROSS and MULTIPOSTING, as the Oracle newsgroups already suffer more than enough from it, especially as the most avid crossposters are the persons who
a) don't read manuals
b) don't use the newsgroups archives.
