Jordan K. Hubbard once stated:

=And no, I'm not simply going to whap `delete' on cross-posts or make
=procmail a solution for a problem which should be handled by the
=posters themselves. The charters were written for a reason and we
=expect people to follow them.

There may be situations when it is desirable to get the message to
more then one list. It is, of course, causing a high level of
annoyance if the intersection between the lists is high.

IMHO, this should be handled by mailing list software. Make sure
no-one gets the same message ID twice is rather simple, since all
the data is available to the mailing list software. This should
also solve the problem of people CC-ing responses directly -- if
the address is already in CC or TO -- do not include it.

Unfortunately, this feature (multiple lists) does not seems to
exist in current mailing list software :-(

Once such software appears, the mailing chapters can probably,
be amended :-)
