So, this thread never got to anywhere and, unsurprisingly, we're seeing
not just a continuing set of cross-posts that shouldn't be, but an
increase in them.

At this point, I'd suggest we start moderating such cross-posts, letting
moderators know that they should reject ones that aren't done with any
thought to it with a request to the submitter to please pick a list
instead of spamming them all.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Stephen
