PROBLEM! misc.business.product-dev.. Extending floating point precision

Guy Macon has recently taken over as the moderator of
misc.business.product.dev.
One of his rules as moderator is that you are allowed to post to 'his'
newsgroup and one other unmoderated one. Note that is one as in one.
Recently Guy has posted the same question 'Extending floating point
precision' to comp.arch.embedded and sci.math. Including a crosspost to his
newsgroup.
The result is that whilst Guy, if you don't change the newsgroups, gets to
see answers from both groups in his group you as subscribers to the other
groups
do not.
Guy has not mentioned that he has posted the question in both of the other
newsgroups.
It might not be uncommon for newbies to post the same question to different
groups rather than crosspost. I don't know what recommended practice is but
if I thought a question was of interest to two groups, or more, then I would
crosspost and get a share of answers and knowledge as would others.
Guy Macon considers himself to be some sort of expert on usenet but as far
as I am concerned this is just another example of his ignorant or arrogant
behaviour. He is harvesting your knowledge.
I hope you understand my concern.
Thank You

I did try and crosspost this to comp.arch.embedded and sci.math but the
newsserver doesn't seem to want to play. :-(
