I have to disagree, when i started out with this terrible addiction i would post in a couple of forums because i wanted the answer NOW!, but finding that the world doesn't work like that and the fact that i had my wrists slapped (thanks Bob!) i stopped and realised why, from then on i only ever posed one question in one forum!

this i do agree with, i have nothing against crossposting but it does really annoy me when the appropriate protocol isn't followed, i'm a mod at another forum and new posters get a polite "shove" in the right direction, the more seasoned get a warning and the habitual get their posts locked (i rarely have to do the latter!).
