Without getting into either the merits or mechanics of crossposting, it should
be noted that it can't change a reply to A into a reply to B under any set of
circumstances. In the current thread and all subthreads, all posts (19 at this
point) appeared in both groups without anyone removing a group in their reply,
so it hasn't even been a factor. You can trust your thread-view.
