In article , -ED says...

Who had the brilliant idea of allowing cross-postings on usenets? What
positive purpose could it possible serve? Seems like it just bogs the
system down...consuming bandwidth.....this is a senseless generation for
sure...Technology abounds and we lack the discipline to use it properly.

Back in the day, USENET was all there was. Gov and University
researchers colaborated accross the earth, they all had diff domains,
cross posting allowed teams to comunicate with one message.
