6 groups isn't massively cross posted. And no, most ISPs don't puke on a
post cross posted to such a small number. 10, 20 groups - sure. But
6?!? Your ISP is pretty lame.
And cross posting is much preferred to multi-posting. Your lame ISP
should understand that.

Yeah, I've had that happen when someone posted from a .uk group, and
x-posted elsewhere. IMHO, if the x-posted article was on topic, then any
replies should be allowed. If someone's local news server wants to drop
my posts if I'm not in the UK, so be it - it's their server after all.
Even so, all YOUR posts have also be x-posted, so by your own definition,
you too are spamming.

If it's x-posted, the replies should show up on all groups - including the
one he's reading. Granted, if it were really someone who was spamming,
they don't read ANY group - they just spam. Yet, you still felt the need
to reply to someone you considered a spammer knowing full well that IF he
was really a spammer he wouldn't read your posts anyways.
So I have to ask you, what was the point of you "spamming" usenet?
