Please try to make a habit of always setting 'Followup-To' to a
single newsgroup for any articles that are crossposted to more than
two newsgroups. See this post. This has two major advantages:

1. It suppresses much of the spam.
2. It prevents trying to send a message to a newsgroup your
server does not handle, and the associated errors.

If the newsgroup is one to which I don't subscribe, I ignore followups.
I'm not excluding myself from a conversation just because someone else
thinks it's convenient.

No. Just don't crosspost.

If you write a message for multiple groups than it makes sense
for the entire thread to remain resident in all those groups.
Otherwise you will fragment the conversation.

If crossposters really "distress" you so much then simply use
the facilities that have been available to Usenet readers since
the state of the art newsreader was a collection of shell scripts.
