Cross-Posting & other forum issues

Dave,
Every forum does have different rules. Some post
those rules, some don't. There are also unwritten rules. The best way to learn the rules is to observe the behavior of the regulars at a forum first. If you are unsure of a post, it never hurts to email admin and ask first.

On the topic of cross posting, some forum owners (including me) prefer that you not cross-post because if a visitor to a forum see the same posts the he just saw in another forum he is less likely to stay and look around. Some who do cross post offer as an explanation that different people visit the different forums.

Good manners dictate that you learn and follow the rules of whatever forum you visit. It also helps to have a thick skin and expect to be flamed every now and then :-)
