For the same reason unnecessary cross posting of any kind is bad - the 
very people you most want to help you will subscribe to both and get 
p****d off at reading everything twice. Pretty soon you wind up on their 
kill list (mental or electronic - hopefully not literal!).

OTOH it might work to advertise Smalltalk if that's all you want to 
accomplish.

FWIW I read this list via gmane news rather than as a mailing
list... That gives me pretty good archive/search facilities.
