If you want to share something with multiple groups, it is better to
cross-post (posting one message to multiple groups by listing them all
in the Newsgroups: header) than to multi-post (posting the same message
separately to multiple groups). Multi-posting is generally frowned
upon; cross-posting to a reasonably small number of groups is generally
accepted, so long as the topic is relevant to all of them and not
flamebait.
The message here, and this reply, was cross-posted to both
comp.programming and comp.programming.threads; evidently, you also
multi-posted to comp.lang.c++.
