You're right; I don't have to read anything I don't want to read-- but the concept of cross-posting rubs me the wrong way, whether it's from blog to board, or board to board, or anything else. The Emily Post Netiquette in my head (which is my own, and only mine; everybody can follow their own personal Emily) says that if you're going to write something for a newspaper, you shouldn't sell the same story directly to another newspaper. If you're an original poster posting an original post, I prefer it to be, well, original.
Cstephens, you are welcome to post whatever you like, wherever you like. It's a free 'Net. I'm sure there are many posters here who are glad you're posting at four boards so that your topics can be brought up wherever they are. I don't mean to be snotty-- though I feel like I may be coming across that way. Cross-posting just isn't my bag. So I'll take your advice and only read your threads on one board.
