I did.

Where is *here*? That's exactly my point. All his posts go to 5 groups, as 
the replies to his posts. I have no problem if he posts in one of those 
groups, or even three if he sets a follow-up to. But Xah just dumps his 
load in 5 groups, no matter if it's on topic in any of them.

And since they all promote his website, and Xah never joins the discussion 
(except to cry wolf when he has been "harassed", overlooking that he has 
been harassing Usenet for quite some time) I consider his posts spam. Yet 
I report it as excessive cross posting.

"My" opinion is shared by his hosting provider, and probably the next as 
well, unless Xah decides to pay a bit more.
