I think that what was meant by the suggestion to prevent
postings to multiple groups was that the software should
somehow prevent a person from posting an article to several
groups ONE AT A TIME.  Cross-postings should most
assuredly be allowed.  The only way that I can see to prevent
a user from posting the article more than once is to maintain
some sort of database that defines what articles the user
has submitted and then compare the articles.  Perhaps just
a simple comparison of the subject lines would be sufficient.
