Hi,

What is the difference betwen this group and alt.graphics.photoshop?

Andrew’s suggestion is good for understanding the how and why of the various heirarchies. In terms of day to day usage, there is little difference between this group and either alt.graphics.photoshop or adobe.photoshop.windows, as you will find that many of the active responders frequent all three groups.

IIRC, adobe.photoshop.windows is part of a private heirarchy (like that run by Microsoft) set up and supported by Adobe itself to support its products.

Different users composing different message, may be?

Thanks for your attention.

That was interesting but I am still not clear. I am a member of the alt group but I don’t have time check it regularly. I do check in on occasion but do not post because I do not want to throw people off. One thing I have noticed is that sometimes things I say in this group will show up in that group even though I did not post to that group. Why does that happen?

Thanks,
Ron

The original poster cross-posted to two newsgroups and when you replied you replied to both newsgroups? When you hit reply, look at what newsgroups you are replying to.

Multiple posts may be but doesn’t look like x-posted as my reader didn’t see as true x-posted to ask for the confirmation.

I’m using SeaMonkey as my newsreader and that iz what I use to post to this newsgroup. When I reply to your message, I can see that this message is going to one newsgroup, com.graphics.apps.photoshop.

If you had posted the same message in two newsgroups then I would also see I was replying in that newsgroup, for example alt.graphics.photoshop.

It would work the same way if I was posting a new message. I could start in this newsgroup and then add the other newsgroup and my message would appear in both newsgroups.

I will drop it because it doesn’t seem very important but I have to admit that none of it makes any sense to me. Thanks for explaining it though.
