but 40tude's Dialog [...] 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.

And putting up an alert, especially when there's a large number of
newsgroups in the field, makes a lot of sense. It helps educate users
regarding the hazards of cross-posting.

But that doesn't mean it makes any sense to remove legitimate cross-posted
newsgroups, and it *certainly* doesn't make sense to not give the user the
option.
