That would only make sense if you waited long enough for an answer to show up,
which you did not do. Also, multiposting is bad enough that you still
shouldn't do it; it divides the answers amongst several threads, reducing the
value of the answers and annoying the very people who have those answers.

If you really must reach more than one group, cross-post (address multiple
groups at the same time instead of in separate messages) with followup set to
just one group.

Don't reject the advice to follow the netiquette as you did in your reply.
For one thing, the excuse wasn't credible. You do, of course, have the
freedom to be as rude as you want. That would tend to reduce the willingness
of folks to help you, and thus the utility of the group to you.

If you really do "need answer" then it's better would be for you to get the
helpfulness of Andrew's advice and not make implausible excuses. You'll
actually /reduce/ the likelihood of getting answers and that of getting them
from the most knowledgeable people by multiposting. For example, Andrew is
one of the most knowledgeable people around here about applets. (Notice that
by telling you that he'd answered this question before that he gave you a
hint: you can search the newsgroup archives and possibly find the answer
already there for you.) By multiposting, you've pretty much lost that
valuable source of knowledge. By justifying it with that odd excuse, you have
pretty much damaged the chance of getting that source back.

So please, do not multipost. For your own benefit.
