Sorry for the poorly done cross-post.

You know I messed around for an hour trying to figure out how to do it, and
was unsuccessful.  I needed to put a comma between the group names.  Now I
know what I was doing wrong.

I've alreay gotten several responces.  All have pointed out the advantages
of cross-posting.  Thanks.

Again, sorry to everyone.

Congrats on your club formation.  Looks like you had a good competition.

You may want to look into how to crosspost... your announcement may well be
worth posting in the MANY groups you posted it to but it should have been
one post, crossposted, with followups set appropriately instead of 20+
separate posts. By doing that you ensure thread fragmentation, and further,
it also annoys some folks when you do that.

If you're not sure how to crosspost, or what crossposting means, ask for
help in lugnet.newbie... Hope that helps!
