Cross-posting -- the poster sends a single message to more than one list
address. People who respond by clicking "Reply All" inadvertantly send their
reply to more than one list, some of which they may not be subscribed to.
Messy.
Multi-posting -- the poster sends duplicate messages, each addressed to only
one list. People who respond by clicking "Reply All" respond only to the
list on which they got the message. Clean and neat.
