Don't send repeat messages or cross-posting the same message to other groups. This activity slows down the system and can bother some people. Plus taxing or bogging down the system will hurt you the user in the end.
If you think your message hasn't been sent, please wait a good hour or two as the Internet can be slow. Or in the case of UseNet, it might take time for you to see your message.
