Cross Posting

[Jeff Miller]

Many of us who participate in both/all forums are used to cross-
posting, I can't see any reason to discontinue it. Usually if I see
the same thing on more than one forum I will read it only once, or
reply only once. If it is particularly interesting or valuable one
might cross-post the reply also.
