I don't see how crossposting really is that big of a problem. Most news systems/readers only store/forward crossposted articles once and you only have to see them once. Doesn't really increase volume at all. The only worry is having to read them at all, and there would still be a substantial savings there, i.e. not ALL articles would be crossposted.
