-- LOL, I haven\'t withdrawn support at all. :-) All \'crosspost\' means is not to make the same post first to one group and then to another, but instead to include the names of both newsgroups in the "Newsgroups:" line. (The line which determines where your post is going, whatever it may be called) That way whoever answers your post (whichever newsgroup they may be in) will send copies to all the other newsgroups listed and won\'t have to go to each individual group to post. Posting to each group separately is called multi-posting, while posting to them all at once is called crossposting, which is generally preferred in most related groups. I\'ve crossposted this post to alt.electronics, sci.electronics.basics, sci.electronics.design, and sci.electronics.misc, so if anybody\'s interested they might also join in.
