You should read the "Rules of Etiquitte" and please don't "crosspost," that
is put the same question in more than one bulliten board.

That's one opinion, but the fact remains that the sponsor of this forum,
Devx, asks in the Rules that you don't do it. Seems to me that knowingly
refusing to honor the host's wishes is very impolite.
The fact is that crossposting may make your question more available (although
I question how you know that), but according to Devx, your host, it makes
other people's questions less available. Is that your policy, "I'm going
to do what's good for me and I don't care how many other people I screw in
the process." ?
