Cross-posting is not generally considered bad manners.

If the topic is of relevance to all the groups it is definitely polite.

Booze deregulation leads to 11% drop in violent crime
Andy Pandy err, actually that's exactly what it indicates, a correlation between being drunk and more violence happening, then why does only...

I send to everyone who may be interested. With USENET it is impossible to know who is interested beforehand as groups may have hundreds, if not thousands of subscribers.

Don't be silly. One posts to the group if one has something to say which is relevant to that group.

No. The breastle a group often gives one a good idea of what is of interest to the group. The FAQ does not rule out the subjects I have posted about.

Drivel. If maybe 10 people in a group object I may take notice of what they say. But I will certainly ignore one person. When that person is rude they can be guaranteed to be ignored.

on topic; as far as I am concerned. Given that wine is frequently sold in pubs and other licensed premised my last post was very definitely on topic.

It the post annoys you then ignore it, no one if forcing you to read anything. Stop behaving like a child by buttuming you are the only person in the world that matters.
