Your use of Usenet

needs improvement.
If you feel *compelled* to ask the same question
in MULTIPLE newsgroups, *this* is the prefered technique:

is selfish and inefficient.

The last half of this thread explains WHY
and fleshes out the (more acceptable) cross-posting paradigm:

The last post in that thread hints at why (clueless) Google Groupers
are so reviled by those who read Usenet using a "newsreader".
