Please get your facts straight before posting definitions.
The proper sig delimited is "-- ". Note the SPACE after the second dash. You 
left it out and I had to delete it myself.

Uhh, cross-posting, sending one post to more than one group all at once, is 
fine - If you read a message on one group, it's marked read for all the 
groups it went to. If you want to know more, suggest searching out the term 
crosspost and multipost.
Crossposting
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Crossposting is the act of posting the same message to multiple forums, 
mailing lists, or newsgroups. This is distinct from multiposting, which 
involves posting multiple identical messages, each to a single forum, 
newsgroup, or topic area.

Crossposting can be helpful if the message is of interest to a larger 
audience. However, crossposting to groups that are irrelevant to the message 
posted could be considered spamming. Moreover, excessive crossposting is 
generally considered bad form because it multiplies traffic without adding 
any new content. In the extreme case, if all messages were crossposted to 
every group, then every group would look exactly the same. A crossposter can 
minimize this problem by specifying that all responses be directed to a 
single group (see Followup-To).



I think what you meant to not do was multi-posting; sending the same e-mail 
to separate groups, one at a time. THAT is considered rude & crude but not 
really a show stopper.
