Cross Posting on APUG & LFPF

[BrianShaw]

Who made you the 4rth person in the trinity?

This is the funniest line I've ever read. Never heard this one before. May I use it? It should ocme in quite handy at work!

[Ron Marshall]

I have the solution: a warning at the start of a duplicate post:

BEWARE: ALSO POSTED ON APUG. DO NOT READ IF YOU MIGHT BE ANNOYED (YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!)

[Greg Lockrey]

and it is ONLY done by photographers who are members of both.

What a tempest in a teapot. If something as harmless as cross-posting bothers you, it's long past time to shut down the computer and go make some photographs.

How hard is it to ignore a post that you don't want to see twice?

[Geert]

Here's a solution; don't read one or the other!

That's what I do.

At least Jim Galli has the courtesy of using the same title on his messages on both forums.
Makes it easier to skip one or the other.

But sometimes it interesting to read the different replies on the same subject.

When I was in the Navy we used to say, "a bitching sailor is a happy sailor", perhaps IanG is just a happy guy.

Ian, there's nothing wrong with posting the same question on multiple forums in an effort to get a broader range of opinions or input. And, timing of those posts is entirely up to the poster.

Although there is a significant overlap of membership between the two forums with respect to LF shooters, the overlap isn't 100%. Thus, it makes sense to post on both forums in many cases. Simply ignoring the duplication, as others have suggested, is the easy solution.

What about posting redundantly in the same thread?
