I'm not aware of anybody that does that. The only crossposts that
are killed are those that reach a BI of 20, and for a single post to do
that would require the message to be crossposted to 400 newsgroups. Which
doesn't happen.
It might interest you to know that a cancel will kill all the
crossposts in a single message, BTW. Your "cancelling 99 of the 100
articles thing" does save lots of reader time.
(If you're going to talk about cancels authoritatively, please
read my Cancel FAQ - it's got huge piles of information on this stuff.)
