Sorry Willie:

In the offline real world, if one has a problem that needs an answer, one picks up the phone book, heads to the yellow pages, and calls every business on the list with the same set of questions until one finds someone who can provide the required help....not exactly the same but a very, very, close parallel.

I see cross posting as a means to getting an answer more quickly than posting on one board and waiting a day to see if there is a rsponse, and then then having to post on a nother board and wait again, and again, and again.

Not every reader of every board reads every other board and in this pattern the answer to a problem or help may not be found on just one board....granted a lot of us visit several boards but still the answer a person seeks may be from someone who doesn't visit every board.

Just my spin on it.
