You are absolutely right that that is one of the problems with crossposting.  
The typical ways I consider dealing with it include posting my replies to 
both (all) lists, but just as crossposting is considered offensive by many, 
crossposting replies may be just as or even more offensive.

Do you have any alternate solutions (presuming there was a valid reason for 
the crossposting in the first place, which I feel there sometimes is)?
