yes there is

You want the luxury of doing something that will cause
problems if everyone did it. The vast majority of people
who read your post would not have spent the time sifting
through the group till they got to it if all the (other)
posts were put in every related group. There would be
thousands of posts per group per day and few if any
participants are willing to spend that much time wading
through it all.
