   The Real Bev severely cut the 'Newsgroups: line (without saying so).
The original list apparently was:
 
Newsgroups: comp.mobile.android,misc.phone.mobile.iphone,alt.fan.rush-limbaugh,alt.society.liberalism,talk.politics.guns
 
   I think that says enough.

 
Mea culpa, I usually mention that other newsgroups were snipped.

  When you do, please also note *which* newsgroups were snipped, so
readers are informed, especially about troll-groups like this.

I snip for two reasons.  The most important one is that I refuse to
encourage flamage, which is apparently the intent of many original
posts.  The second is that Thunderbird refuses to send to more than one
newsserver at a time.  Since I have no way of knowing (without spending
far more time than is warranted) which groups come from which servers, I
snip the ones I'm not involved in.

  Crossposting doesn't involve multiple news*servers*, only multiple
news*groups*. However it is possible that your newsserver (Eternal
September) limits the number of groups in a crosspost. AFAIK, 4 is a
common limit. The OP was crossposted to 5 groups.

I do apologize for not giving notice, though.

  No worries, just pay attention on the crosswalk when I'm approaching!
