Mike,
Slightly off topic, but I am wondering why there is an issue with the same post in different forums. While there is certain to be a crossover audience, there are also bound to be some folks on one and not the other. It may also be possible that an individual with a good response for you might pick up you post and answer it on one forum and never see it in the other.

I am, of course, assuming here that folks are posting with a genuine need for good advice and not simply trying to collect data for marketing purposes.

I know I have posted similar questions in more than one forum with the best of intentions. Is it truly a problem when I do that? I am relatively new to the the IM world and am still learning the courtesies.

Thanks Mike,
Jim
