Either there is very little or I've learned who not to pay attention
to. I don't kill crossposts, but my news reader (Agent) has a warning
popup when a post is crossposted that gives me the option to reply to
the group I'm reading or to all. If I choose "all", I can still trim
the ngs, so I'm not stuck.
