+Do not cross-post when sending messages to a list! Sending the same message to |
| 56 |
+more than one list at a time leads to fragmentation of the thread when some |
| 57 |
+people reply on one list, and some on another list. There's no guarantee that |
| 58 |
+the recipients of your message are on both lists. Choose just one list when |
| 59 |
+sending a message. |
