In fact, cross posting is good. The bad thing is that people on both lists get multiple copies, and that's a mail implementation issue. No, I don't know how to solve it (if it were easy, it would already have been solved). But we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that people who cross-post often do it because they believe that it's relevant to each list.
