You need to be a little cautious. Nearly all of the crossposts are from
the
usual suspect under four or five different IDs, sometimes even replying to
himself. If he follows his usual pattern he will begin to forge genuine
poster's sender addresses as soon as he reckons enough people are
killfiling.

And -just- killfiling on crossposting without taking notice of follow-up
settings means you include the ones who are trying to temper the flood.

Cheerio,

While what you say may be right, if nobody replied to such cross-posts they
wouldn't become a problem.
