Yes, you crossposted. And yes, crossposting is bad. But the bad is
mostly for the original crosspost, and not the replies to it, as the
damage had already been done. Of course, there is still some damage by
bringing more attention to the crosspost, and the groups in listed in
the headers.
We have ALL mistakenly crossposted, in replying to a crosspost. Rarely,
it's even a good thing to do, as I did with a Troll thread in Tommy's
groups, when I reminded them not to crosspost. Riske initiated the
crosspost, and those who replied didn't notice that part of it. I
narrowed my crossposting reply to just those groups the serious people
posted from.
I would have brought this issue to your attention, when a recent
disturbance here had abated. There was no need to give people things to
use against you in a dispute.
What Z said to you was good. It's very similar to what I've often said,
and to him, too, so I'd have to say it was good. :-)
There's a lot of advice available. Not all of it agrees. It's wise to
get at least a second opinion on things, and to find out WHY things are
good and bad.
Take care,
Y Not
