You have a real need to disconnect your multiple posts across newsgroups?
If you are posting the same message to multiple groups then the topic of
your post should be to *related* newsgroups. Well, why hide the replies
from other participants in the other groups since their replies are for an
on-topic thread? Because you are purposely disconnecting the users. That
means the users duplicate their replies and waste their time giving
suggestions that some other user has already submitted.

Your are rude when multi-posting the same message.

Actually, you should have cross-posted, e.g., sending to
both this forum and the alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus,
simultaneously. In this way, readers in either newsgroup
would be able to reply to the threads in both groups. This
is one occasion when cross-posting conforms to protocol.

I would just solder the wires back on the switch.

But msnews.microsoft.com does not permit that. I have tried it. When I try
to send to another group that is non-MS, I get some kind of "not found"
error. And yes, I spelled them correctly.
