Cross posting to fewer than 5~7 groups is the proper way and allows proper
Usenet readers to click on the post in ONE group and mark it as read for
all of them, it also allows all participants across all groups it was
posted to see any reply.

Multi-Post is much like spam, it creates separate messages in each group
and none of them are linked to each other - this means that a discussion
in one group may not been seen my participants in another group with the
same original post.

Posting to more than 5~7 groups is always consider improper and in bad
form.
