Members posting other sites

Over the months that Ive been a member to this site I do all my posting here<br><br>I still check the other sites for info and many times see the exact same post word for word posted at other sites....dont these members trust our advise ??....now before I get flamed too bad...I know they have the wright to post at other sites but at lease change some of the wording instead of doing a copy and paste<br><br>I guess I just feel its rude to members of this site to see multiple word for word posts on other sites....by our own membership &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;

I do that frequently with my model train hobby. I frequent two model train forums, and if I have a question I will often post the same thing on both forums. It's not because I don't trust the advice of people on one forum...it's just because it allows me to get more feedback and get it faster. Copy and paste is a great feature that prevents me from having to type the whole thing over again. <br><br>Besides....what difference does it make?? You don't HAVE to read it twice just because someone posts it twice. Lighten up... :

Re:Members posting other sites

I personally don't mind either way. I think when guys do that, they're leveraging the knowledge and experience of 19000 members vs 4300. Makes a big difference in terms of how many responses you might get. As we grow, I think you'll see people do that less often. I don't think it happens often anyway to be honest.
