Can this be tuned to not send a complaint if it's cross posted
to less than N groups? Cross posts are good, in moderation, so I
wouldn't want us to be encouraging posting the same article multiple
times, but I'd agree that I've rarely, if ever, seen a message that
should be cross posted to more than 5 groups.
