    Yes, one article I posted was cross-posted across csa2 and the four
new subgroups since it concerns them all.  Normally this isn't a problem
with Usenet news sites since only one copy of the article is transmitted
and then duplicated (either physically or using symbolic links) on the
local news server.  I guess ProLine doesn't handle it that way?  The
subject on one thread changed, so I limited the Newsgroups: line to
comp.sys.apple2 only.  Cross-posting is probably a good idea for the
first couple of weeks so that people that don't have the new groups yet
have a chance to get them without missing out on messages.  It should
subside pretty soon.
