This would be a reasonable example of a case where multi-posting is to be

interesting exchanges between the moderates in both camps.

Slogan: /anything/ is better than a flame-war -- even multi-posting.

I disagree with your conclusions (an occasional
flame-war can be fun to watch, and I think it
helps make clear* any 'seething hatreds' between
group members - hatreds that affect their posts
and replies on other threads, but they are usually
too 'polite' to mention.)

Plus I detest multi-posting.

OTOH - thanks for your alternate perspective,
it did somewhat surprise me that (any) people
might prefer multi-posting to a (potential)
flame-war.

I regretted crossposting from this group to sci.crypt when a flame war
erupted between Tom St Dennis and Roedy Green
