cross-post
[Usenet] To post a single article simultaneously to several newsgroups.
Distinguished from posting the article repeatedly, once to each newsgroup, which
causes people to see it multiple times (which is very bad form). Gratuitous
cross-posting without a Followup-To line directing responses to a single
followup group is frowned upon, as it tends to cause followup articles to go to
inappropriate newsgroups when people respond to only one part of the original
posting.
