All My two cents. I absolutely agree that mailing lists are for defined purposes and that, people should sign up knowing that the specific lists are targeted to what they're interested in.
And the danger of too much cross posting is that lists loose focus. However, there are (and always will be) situations where somebody needs to inform or seek feedback across lists: not everything fits into one of our 3 stovepipes I happen to subscribe to all 3, but I know there are many folks in this project who only watch @marketing. I really don't see the problem in Radhika seeking feedback on a key document release from a marketing perspective. Its quite usual in many organisations for any "customer facing" documentation to have a once-over from the marketing team before release.

I would agree with Joe that this is why there are separate mailing lists.
