By cross-posting your question to every list you know of, the chances 
are that several people, usually the very "gurus" on whom you rely for 
information, will see your message as many times as there are lists to 
which you posted your question. By the time they've deleted the fourth 
copy of the message they're going to start being thoroughly annoyed and 
will most likely disregard your question and move on. This is /not/ what 
you wanted, is it?

Hi All,

I think that this is terribly outdated. There are so many different 
GURUS out there now, and a lot who DO NOT visit a vast majority of other 
lists/forums etc. For excample, I may post here, and the Fedora 
List/CentOS, and perhaps an online one, www.dslreports.com(UNIX) area, 
to get to the bottom of an answer. How many people here, actually 
frequent those lists too. Sure, some may, but, I bet many don't. Anyway, 
hope this doesn't become a flame war, just wanted to express a view. Cheers.

Mark Sargent.
