While I agree with Richard...

Cross-posted articles cost exactly the same to transmit and to store 
(plus extra entries in the directory block) as a single article posted
to a single group.  Adding groups does not cost extra.  Richard Sexton
has a theory that creating a group creates traffic in that group 
(supply side voodoo economics of the USENET), but I have seen no support
for that theory.

DISCLAIMER:  I speak for myself only, unless otherwise indicated.
