Yes, because YOU changed the posting newsgroup. Don't change list of
newsgroups being cross-posted to.

Whether YOU prefer it or not is immaterial. It is the accepted practice
on Usenet. A good description can be found at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossposting.

Possibly. But that's life. It doesn't mean messages can't be
cross-posted to both newsgroups. And whether you read both newsgroups
or not is also immaterial. Some people may, for instance, read alt.php
but not comp.lang.php.
