Well, there's a technical problem here.  Both mod.risks and
mod.politics.arms-d originate as ARPANET mailing lists and are
simply gatewayed (automatically, I presume) into Usenet.  The concept
of "cross-posting" doesn't exist on the ARPANET, so I don't see any
good way to alleviate this problem.  Believe me, it bugs me too, as I
also read both lists.
