:
: It depends on what your questions are.
:
: Aviation newsgroups will be better for questions specifically about use of
: GPS in an aviation environment, including (but not limited to) available
: services (direct routing, for example), approaches (availability, cloud
and
: visibility minima, etc.), use of particular GPS models (entering flight
: plans, using navigation guidance, slaved autopilots, etc.), and the like.
:
: GPS newsgroups will be better for technical issues applicable to all GPSs,
: like how they work, satellite almanac, accuracy, future technology, etc.
:
: Of course, individuals in either newsgroup category may have knowledge of
: topics found in the other, including aviation GPS issues. But this is not
: justification for cross-posting.
:
: For what it's worth, it's my opinion that you should consider the nature
of
: your question, and post only to the newsgroup where that question is BEST
: asked and answered. This even includes limiting the aviation newsgroups
to
: which you've posted (for example, r.a.military is relevant only for
military
: usage of GPS, r.a.owning is relevant only for issues like purchase and
: installation, and r.a.piloting would be most relevant for GPS user
topics),
: but certainly would preclude cross-posting to newsgroups that don't even
: share top-level hierarchy, nevermind secondary hierarchy (e.g. not even
all
: in the same "rec.*" tree).
:
: I almost never will answer a post inappropriately cross-posted, except
: perhaps to point out that it's inappropriately cross-posted, or to discuss
: other "meta" issues with respect to the post (inasmuch as your post is
: really a "meta-question", I don't mind offering an opinion in answer). I
: will ALWAYS junk any thread inappropriately cross-posted (immediately
after
: making my initial reply, in those rare cases when I make any reply). Many
: people share that philosophy, so a really good way to get lots of people
to
: ignore your post altogether is to cross-post it.
:
: Pete
I do not, normally like to cross post. But I did not really know how to
evaluate the various knowledge levels without having people compare
themselves.
Thanks...
(yours was a very good reply)
