This certainly doesn't directly support Jose's claim, but 40tude's Dialog
(http://www.40tude.com/dialog/), which is what I use these days, responds
with a warning message when the user attempts to reply to a cross-posted
thread. Selecting one of the options in this warning box directs the
newsreader to strip off all cross-posted newsgroups except the first.

As does Agent. Anything more than three is *usually* considered poor
form.
