You probably want to post to the group that the product will eventually
run on.  The reason to not cross-post is that many of us are subscribed
to more than one group and we get multiple copies.  Pick the most
appropriate one and re-post to another group if the first one fails.

Not to be rude, but another of those netiquette rules is to not top-post
(intersperse your replies after the pertinent paragraph and remove parts
no longer relevent to your reply).

An even more important one is to maintain the proper quoting so we can
tell who said what.  At this point in time it's impossible to tell.
