not everyone reading in one newsgroup is necessarily reading in another;
cross-posting is anathema to common sense--and to netiquette in general!
better to post articles to only one newsgroup at a time but never xpost*
 
some readers, especially the younger generation, do not use anything but
smartphones; whereas many seniors (e.g. myself) have never used anything
but desktop/laptop computers since the xt, trs-80, etc., were in diapers
   
*hint: to satisfy "net-cop" trolls, make each seperately posted message
slightly different as with this reply e.g. by adding a few extra spaces
and/or actually note to where it was also posted...(comp.mobile.android)
   

Rubbish.  This advice is wrong and goes against long-standing custom
and usage on Usenet.  To follow the above advice is itself a breach of
netiquette.
