One of the corollaries is that some people won't see your post at all. 
I have a default kill on anything crossposted to more than 2 newsgroups.
I didn't even see your post until Simon Slavins responded, and only then
because I have un-kill on some posters sometimes.

While I can understand your reasoning for including both uk and aus,
your question is not specific to either, so perhaps comp.sys is the
place for it. 

One of the reasons many people find the uk groups a pleasant place to
hang around is because they are usually uncontaminated by the often
unruly behaviour in the usa-centric hierarchies. For that reason alone,
it would be looked upon favourably if you didn't cross-post to
comp.sys.mac and instead, posted there separately.
