Actually, I just meant it should just *ignore* the extra entries in the
Newsgroups header. But that doesn't make sense, especially after your
further discussion about the evils of having separated threads spawned
from cross-posted messages. Dropping/Chopping the extra newsgroups
(especially if they were usenet newsgroups) would be against NNTP
guidelines, I believe.
So it comes down to this: would we rather lose the ability to cross-post
to RTL, or allow the possibility of the unwashed 2% overflowing from RTL
to lugnet.*?
I'm pretty sure what the majority of other lugnet'ers will say on this
one, but I'm not sure of my own position.

Nope. But you've already got the analysis tools to detect binaries (I'm
including HTML posts in this group -- make a rec.toys.lego.html if you
want). *.market posts could be detected by looking for keywords in the
subject and body. *.spam could look for subject keywords, excessively
long Newsgroups headers, etc.
Which brings up a point: is recognizing message cancels from usenet
going to be a problem?
