post
To send a message to a {mailing list} or
{newsgroup}. Usually implies that the message is sent
indiscriminately to multiple users, in contrast to "mail"
which implies one or more deliberately selected individual
recipients.
You should only post a message if you think it will be of
interest to a significant proportion of the readers of the
group or list, otherwise you should use private {electronic
mail} instead. See {netiquette}.
