I would like to point out that when I see an identical message posted
to two lists that I read, I uncontrollably ratchet up the "annoyed by
that person" meter inside my brain, just a teeny tiny bit. It just
seems like a waste of my time to have to tab through the message on two
separate lists. It's also insulting to anybody who answers the
question on one list, not knowing that it's been answered, debated, and
resolved on the other list. I can't imagine that anybody has an
outright positive reaction to such multi-posting.
I would advise always posting only to one list at a time, and making
your first list the one most pertinent to the question at hand.
Chances are you can wait a day or two before posting to another list
with a "I asked over there but didn't get any response" qualifier.
What we don't want is everybody posting separate identical messages to
multiple lists.
