I respectfully disagree.  When I cross post it is with follow-up to all 
the newsgroups, and much of the value that I get from it is the 
conversations that are sparked among folks who wouldn't see each other's 
replies if they went to one 'central' newsgroup.  Perhaps it is the 
nature of the groups I frequent, and the stuff that I'm interested in, 
but any flame wars that I have been sparked have been outweighed by the 
value of the conversations.

However the OP should also set follow-ups to the one central (to
him) newsgroup where all the answers and further correspondence
should take place.  This avoids promulgation of these horrible
heavily cross-posted threads which invariably deteriorate into some
sort of flame war.  The cross-post then lasts only long enough to
attract interested parties.

Please check in Wikipedia or do a web search on "cross posting", and pay 
close attention to the difference between cross posting (which you did 
not do between this group and comp.arch.fpga) and "multiple posting" 
(which you did).

Cross-posting is socially acceptable in many circumstances.  You get to 
do multiple posting once, as a very new newbie.

Hi all.
I'm an undergrad student doing a year long project on designing an 8051

variant for FPGA.
 We're required to decide upon  the specifications, by targeting any
particular application.
I'd be really thankful for any suggestions for the applications....
  Could someone guide me to sites that offer a comparison, &
applications of available 8051 cores? 

thanx in advance
