Reading the Posting Etiquette, which is linked in my sig:

"No crossposting.

It is almost never appropriate to send the same message to two
mailing lists or newsgroups. Please don't do it. Or, if you must, make
sure you set the Followup-To and Reply-To fields to ensure that replies
go only to one, not to both.
example: Newsgroup: mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey
Newsgroup: mozilla.dev.apps.firefox
FollowUp-To: mozilla.dev.apps.firefox
Reply-To: dev-apps-firefox@lists.mozilla.org
Subject: XPFE browser?

It is never appropriate to send the same message to two forums when
one of those forums has general in its name.+

In other words,better to select one group. If its the wrong group,
someone will direct you to the correct group."

These new support groups are not OS specific. Mozilla apps, being cross
platform, have relatively few OS specific problems. When they are,
specify the OS, and someone will help you, or direct you to a more
appropriate group.
