  Well this is not entirely true Patrick.  Cross posting is an anachronism that
has yet to be adequately defined.  Second, "CC'ing" is not cross posting.
Third, "CC'ing" is a standard practice and is incorporated in most
E-Mail clients.  Forth, to suggest that decimating information between
different ML's that have and interests in the information being discussed
that may or may not have subscribers to all of those ML's is indicating
that they do not want to be kept informed.  Such a thought or idea
is tantamount to limiting speech, and is questionable as to it's accuracy
and/or validity.

  Bouncing from where?  Certainly not the NCDNHC list or the ICANN-EU
ML.

  Wrong.  Domain policy has no such provision.

  True.  However those that are NOT on one list where a post on a thread
of some interest on another ML may be helpful and useful, as we
have all seen many many times.
