Following up on Bryan's faqs on trolls.
Today I learned how not to cross post on Google.

You can see if the original post has been cross
posted by clicking on 'show options'.

If you want to reply, hit the reply button, of course ;-)
BUT
do not automatically hit POST after you are done.
Hit PREVIEW instead, there you will see
you will see where your post is going.

Then go to EDIT
and you can take the cross posting directions out
and send it only to rec.ponds.

Hope that is as clear as I can make it.

Using agent 2.0, a prompt appears asking is you want to send to all
crossposted groups or current.
