From: Kevin@nothere.etc 
  
 When a 'cross-posted' message is sent from my computer. 
 (it is sent initially as one message to my ISP.) 
 How is it then propagated / distributed /split (or not) and then 
 picked up in each group etc.  on leaving the local ISP's server,? 
  
 where is the message stored while it is kept live? 
  
 Can someone explain  R FC850/ R FC1036 a little simpler? 
 I need to re-explain it to someone else:-( 
  
  
 TIA
