Multi posting

[Green_Elite_Cab]

This one has always bugged me.

Generally, I try to post in only one or two forums regularly. It is a headache to try and keep up with them all. Every once in a while, I will branch out and join other forums, either through invitation or curiosity, but I tend to gravitate back here. At least here I'm somewhat established and people know me (in some cases, literally).


When I do post in more than one place, I'm definitely guilty of "cloning" posts. Normally, I'll write a post here, and if I think its relevant to discussion elsewhere, I'll copy and paste the text from the edit window and post it with minor revision to another forum. These are generally "update" kinds of posts, such as if I was discussing the same model on two different websites. Why type up the same thing twice?

I used to do this between here and "The Whistle Post" before it apparently sank (and took with it the last Model Railroad Chat room I knew of... I wish ours was up!).
