   Hello fellow Linuxers, please take a decision: the decision where to post
   your messages. I find it rather annoying, when I see many articles in
   COL and the same in COL.* (except COL.Announce, because its moderated). The
   list is split up that long now, most sites now should carry all the COL.* now.
   Or am I wrong there?

You are not wrong but I should add that if you do decide to cross-post
(anywhere on usenet) then at least have the common courtesy to do it
properly - post one copy of the article to multiple groups not
multiple copies. This way anyone with a decent newsreader will only
see it once.
