When you say "to/on the web" you mean "to/on Usenet," right?
What would have to happen is that the article would come back here with the
same crossposting headers, and its Newsgroups line would have to be
truncated so that it only wound up in the local copy of RTL.
That's not a very nice situation, is it... It's why there could be quite a
bit of confusion about crossposting.
Another possibility is preventing crossposting between lugnet.* groups and
rec.toys.lego -- the server could easily reject any such message (it does
currently, because rec.toys.lego is not carried here, and it only admits
messages posted to groups that are carried here.)
