____________________________________________________________________________ / Dear Emily: \ | How can I choose what groups to post in? | | -- Confused | | | | Dear Confused: | | Pick as many as you can, so that you get the widest audience. After | | all, the net exists to give you an audience. Ignore those who suggest you | | should only use groups where you think the article is highly appropriate. | | Pick all groups where anybody might even be slightly interested. | | Always make sure followups go to all the groups. In the rare event | | that you post a followup which contains something original, make sure you | | expand the list of groups. Never include a "Followup-to:" line in the | | header, since some people might miss part of the valuable discussion in | | the fringe groups. | \ -- Emily Postnews Answers Your Questions on Netiquette / ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
