Has anyone else noticed a large number of msgs cross-posted here and
to rec.gardens.edible and to rec.food.cooking and heaven knows where
else recently? I looked up some references and found this:

"...remember that excessive cross-posting is considered bad form
without a good reason, because it multiplies the traffic on the
Internet several times without adding any new content. In the extreme
case, if everybody cross-posted every message to every group, then
every group would look exactly the same!"

My understanding is when a message is crossposted, it's only sent once
and only stored once, althougth that might be implementation dependent.
Where did you find the above quote?

Just one of many that seemed to answer the question gracefully.
