Mark, I'm unsure if you're asking for more directions on the posting page,
or more directions in the FAQ, or both. In the case you think that the FAQ
is unclear on how to cross-post, I added this line:
"Click _here_ to test cross-posting."
Where 'here' directs you to:
http://www.lugnet.com/~330/FAQ/Administrative/test-cross-posting
Please take a look at these also:
http://www.lugnet.com/~330/FAQ/Administrative/multiple
http://www.lugnet.com/~330/FAQ/Administrative/fut
http://www.lugnet.com/~330/FAQ/Administrative/followup
http://www.lugnet.com/~330/FAQ/Administrative/followup2
I know that not everyone is happy about the current FAQ entry on
cross-posting, but if you can tell me how to make it better, I'm happy to try.
Thanks,
Cary
