Well, you should cross-post, that is, post to several groups with the
single message, rather than independently posting to other groups with
the same message to each. The former will place responses to each group
in the list of newsgroups and anyone reading any one of the newsgroups
will see the responses; the latter will make you hunt each group and
responses in each group will be limited to the newsgroup you posted to.
Cross-posting is much easier for both the poster and the readers.
