Cross-posting in general tends to mess up threads, but there isn't much
that can be done about that unless we just ban it. However, most
cross-posts are honest attempts to try to move list discussion to a
place where it might better belong.
Honestly, list traffic is a lot better than it used to be, and I'm not
sure that this is really a big problem these days.
