Also. cross-posting is vastly, vastly preferable to sending the same thing
individually to all the different groups and making people who happen to
follow different groups read it again, and again, and again. But failing to
correctly set a "Followup-To:" is grounds for flensing him with wet
spaghetti.

And again, it really smells like a miracle-cure-spam-scam from the format
and style. It may even be in use to gather addresses to spam people, which
seems a common use for semi-vaguely-legitimate website forms these days.
