Dear Sir/Madam,
Canal+ is a French television station and I had cited an article in French
when I had commenced this thread. I of course did not intend to upset
Mister Olivier Miakinen.
Dr. J-P. Rosen deemed it appropriate to follow up to fr.comp.lang.ada in
English. Others also deemed it appropriate to not follow up in French.
Today Eternal September shows only 773 articles in fr.comp.lang.ada before
this thread and at least 170 (22%) thereof are in English. (Including more
than 1 year all in English i.e. de 2014 to November 2016.) Many are by Dr.
Dirk Craeynest who natively speaks French who does not natively speak
English who habitually posts repetitive articles to many newsgroups
thereby inspiring a USENET-response rate of nearly zero percent.
(DrPi taught me an English word which I did not know which he uses on
fr.comp.lang.ada while I was analysing the statistics for the previous
paragraph.)
During 2002 and 2010 ("Lex et yacc pour ada" and "RootCause; AdaNav;
ThreadSpotter; et software similaire") I uploaded 2 articles in French to
fr.comp.lang.ada which like many other articles in fr.comp.lang.ada
provoked no response.
Sinceres salutations.

thank you for your reply . . . i've seen clips from "canal+" and other
european tv stations in some british documentaries posted in streaming
formats; cross-posting to the usenet newsgroups may have seemed like a
good idea at the time, but the mondation of '93 aka "eternal september"
flooded usenet into the meslee; one or two cross-posted newsgroups may
seem reasonable to some, but posting articles separately, one group at
a time i.e. without cross-posting, makes better sense, irrespective of
what some have called "multi-posting" because not all usenet newsgroup
subscribers, contributors, lurkers, etc., are actually reading in more
than one of those included newsgroups; anyone can assign "follow-up to"
when replying to articles that were posted in one newsgroup to another
newsgroup (etiquette to announce follow-up in body of reply), so there
was never any need for the inherently awkward praxis of "cross-posting"
