The "same email to both lists" type are the worst, because then all the 
replies end up in both lists. I can live with allowing the same content 
to multiple lists. ;)

(Same content to multiple lists could be used for announcements and such 
"legitimate" cross-posts.)

Anyway, I'm not complaining, just trying to share ideas of solutions...
