Assuming you are considering getting news.answers approval (which is
easy, though you have to jump through a couple of hoops), you'll run
into propagation problems resulting from excessive cross posting before
you run into posting server limits. Some news servers drop articles
posted to more than a certain number of newsgroups on the assumption
that they must be spam. It's been rumored that on some news servers
this number is as low as five.
