... and news.answers, making 5. It seems that some ISPs have really
tightened their spam filtering, and are failing to propagate even
one-time articles cross-posted to 5 groups. I trimmed my lists to 3
groups and everything has worked much more reliably. I post a pointer
to the other groups that might like to know about my FAQ; since it
doesn't go to *.answers, its Newsgroups: line is shorter.
Unfortunately, there's not much we can do about the policies other
news servers implement. I suppose we might be able to persuade some
of the relevant news admins to make *.answers a special case, but
there are so many people involved, keeping up with it would be a big
task.
