I, for one, remember the 'bad-old-days' of the ATL and DCOM lists where nearly half of the traffic was cross-posted. I think this is going to grossly increase the amount of traffic, followed by diluting the quality of answers as the experts get fed up with traffic load and begin unsubscribing from the sub-lists, leading to yet more cross-posting to make sure you get an answer, rinse, repeat.
