Yes but rec.arts.ascii is a moderated newsgroup and if you add a 
moderated newsgroup to a newsgroups line your posting will not 
get to any of the other groups if the moderator fails to action your 
posting when he/she receives it. In that event your posting will not 
reach any of the newsgroups you have nominated or which are listed 
in a posting to which you might be doing a follow-up. 

Hmm...I wonder what happens if you have TWO or more moderated groups 
in your newsgroups line. Presumably it goes to each moderator in 
some sort of newsgroup sequence until each moderator has given it 
the OK.  

This is the disadvantage to cross-posting where moderated groups are 
involved.

Also if your access site does not carry all of the groups you have 
included in your newsgroups line your posting will not appear in the 
excluded newsgroups.

Usually you get a warning on your screen at posting time to say that 
certain newsgroups you have selected are invalid at your site. You 
may not see this warning if you are not posting interactively.

Bye,
