You assume it was obvious to me that it was in the first place. But I
didn't see it in any other group that I read, and the news interface
that I use just, by default, shows me the subject, from, and date and
the name of the one newsgroup that I'm reading. If the message then
says something absurd, like "this is a newsgroup about Python" when
I'm reading it in cljp, well, what do you expect? :P

Again you seem to assume I have more context than I actually do when I
read postings. At least when it's cross-posted if I for some reason
decided to look closely at all of the headers that it was cross-posted
would become quickly apparent. Previously, though, you even expected
me to know at a glance when a message was multi-posted separately to
various groups, though nothing in the headers would indicate this.
Only doing a Google search for every message's content would reliably
detect multi-posting, and I'm not about to start doing that just to
satisfy *you*. :P
