Since when is on-topic crossposting an issue here?
Since forever. Since before either of us joined the list (and I first started reading a decade ago). It's a matter of politeness and degree. A pointer to a discussion archived on the web is more useful than dozens of forwarded messages. Hey, I have an idea! Why don't I write a script crossposting everything from sci.crypt to cypherpunks! How about a few dozen other "on-topic" newsgroups and mailing lists too? -Declan
