The only time I see the cross posted messages is when someone here
decides to respond to it. I have 2 views set up, and right now the
view of ignored is 1750 messages long. The not ignored is 1853
messages long. I have retention set to 10 days. I use the ignore
function rather than delete so I can check and see what a thread was
about or just how many messages I don't have to look at.
