Lukas,
The reasons cross posts get annoying to me (and I presume others) are these: 1.) I can't know what responses are posted on the other list without joining it. 2.)if I am on both lists it messes with my message filtering rules on my mail reader and usually both copies wind up in the same folder and it gets hard to tell which list I am replying to unless I reply all and cross post as well. 3.) When searching Archives for answers to questions before posting, it is most unhelpful if half the conversation is archived under another list. 4.) cross posting to N lists creates N times the mail load for the servers, the archives, and any other systems involved, and for people subscribed to M out of N lists invovled in the cross post it creates M times the list mail to deal with.
The only time it seems reasonable to cross post, is when in discussing a feature/bug in one product it seems like it may be traced back to a problem in a dependant library, and you want the folks on the dev list of the library to look into it... (as happened to me recently in the case of a problem implementing a solution to a problem discussed on this list that exposed a bug in commons-betwixt) Even then, it might still be better to craft a separate mail with a link to the archive of the discussion, though cross posting in this case does have the advantage of supplying the preceeding discussion (assuming it hasn't been deleted from the replies) without the day delay for the archive to pick it up.

I cross posted nothing. Zsolt did. I was just wondering why people are extremely sensitive about what I consider to be valid cross posts.
