You posted the same message separately to alt.video.dvd. I'll assume
your motives are good, but that doesn't justify spam-like behavior.
Never post the same message more than once. If a message legitimately
belongs in more than one group -- and yours is a good candidate, IMHO
-- then crosspost it, don't multipost.

I have no idea whether your advice is correct "netiquette" or not, but it
seems to me that there is a flaw in it.
Another NG which I participate in was subjected to horrendous "troll"
attacks a while ago, with all of the offending messages being cross-posted
to over a dozen NGs. Many people filtered out the rogue postings by setting
their news readers *not* to download any cross-posted messages. If this is a
widespread remedy for such attacks, then your recommendation means that many
people wishing to avoid cross-posting trolls would also miss seeing messages
of interest....

fucking busines!!!

No, it means that people with legitimate message won't crosspost to a
dozen newsgroups.
