When you appropriately crosspost, everyone who reads *at least one*
of the newsgroups will see the message, and (crossposted) answers, exactly
once. When you multipost, everyone who reads n of the multiposted
newsgroups will see the message n times. That's fine for those whom
n==1, but increasinly irritating for those when n>1.

So, if you feel you must reach multiple newsgroups, crosspost. If you
don't know how to crosspost, *don't* multipost (making one post in one
group, then making the same or similar post in another). If you do
multipost, expect an exponentially decreasing amount of help from people
who read more than one of the groups to which you post.
