Common sense would dictate that being subscribed to multiple lists is
going to generate some cross traffic. If some people are just forwarding
messages from another list, *that* is being redundant. Proper editing of
messages to pertinant information from another list wouldn't offend me,
unless it's biased by distribution. I'd consider it a way to glean the
best of all lists without having to subscribe to all of them. If we're
going to be distro agnostic we need to be open minded toward others.
Just MHO.
