Why is my crosspost not accepted?
Cross posting heated discussions from a high-traffic group to a low-traffic group can destroy the smaller group, especially if the discussion is off-topic there.

For that reason Albasani is configured to require a Followup-To: with some cross posts. This a suggestion in which group the thread should continue.
