I've made that decision and I'm still using the same newsreader that
I've been using for more than ten years. It has absolutely no features
as far as filtering, but if I find that I'm about to cross-post a
reply, (and I don't always notice this) I'll think about whether I
want to edit the newsgroups to which my reply goes. If I want the
original poster to read myresponse and I'm sure he's not in the same
newsgroup in which I read the message, I'll let the cross-post go.
Othewise, I'll reply just to the newsgroup that I'm reading.

But the real problem isn't with your newsreader, it's with someone
who's knee-jerk reaction to a post that doesn't meet his requirements
is to attack the poster about the post, not ask his real question
(where's the restaurant located?) or explain how difficult it was for
him to deduce the location from his vast knowledge.
