Not everyone follows language-neutral groups (such as comp,programming as you pointed out), so you actually reach more people by cross posting. This is what I don't understand - everyone seems to assume that by cross posting, one intends on start a "flamefest", when in fact most such "flamefests" are started by those who cannot bring themselves to skipping over the topic that they so dislike.
It's not an assumption in Xah Lee's case. He spams newsgroups irregularly with rehashed essays from years ago, and a number of people are just tired of him. Don't blame the victims for the perpetrator's actions, OK?
