Well, you're giving them a double-whammy by top-posting as well. :-)
I've found that if you put a little note at the top, "Crossposted
to ...", and maybe a little followup reminder, that you can
get away with it - especially if it's for something that really
is on-topic in both groups.

One of the reasons I think it's better is that some people don't
read all the same groups, which is covered by posting in both,
but if it's onT, then readers of the other group can benefit from
more answers being available.

Or, if anybody gives you any guff about cross-posting, you can
say, "It's OK! Rich Grise told me to!" ;-)

Cheers!
