Thanks for the clarification, I think we're in total agreement. I think it
WOULD be nice to have some automation that helped people remember not to
excessively cross post (and the place to put the one page netiquette FAQ
link for people to read (about why excessive cross posting is bad) is on
the error screen that you get when you try to do it!!!)
Granted that some people might try to circumvent it. So be it, that's OK.
