: It's probably okay (as long as it's a real crosspost and not two

: c.l.py.  The `Recent Announcements' part of the Python home page, and
: the corresponding Netscape channel, is only culled from c.l.py.a.

FYI, I've attempted some cross-posts to both which didn't even make it
to the moderator.  Cross-posting is the Right Thing(TM), but not all
servers seem to handle it when one is moderated.  Seperate posts is
at times the only option (if you want it announced in both newsgroups).
