If it's against this site's rules, then fair enough. If it's not, then please don't attempt to push your point of view as though it should be everyone else's by using loaded phrases such as "Please don't justify cross-posting.", "It is bad netiquette to post multiple copies of the same thread." and "we are confronted with four identical threads".

I agree with your first premise. It isn't always bad form. We could debate cross posting vs multi posting, and whether X5World is one forum or many, but the fact remains that for those of us who read all the forums on this one site, we are subjected to multiple posts. It is just annoying. It certainly isn't the end of the world, just a pain. It paints Palbay as an amateur, albeit well-intentioned, and maybe nobody has ever told him.

If we want to debate the site rules, I will let an Admin lead that. A couple of us politely suggested that we don't need four identical posts. If we want to encourage it (as you did in your earlier post) then fine, carry on. I am sure Jeff and Drex don't mind paying the bandwidth for four sets of photos. Yes, the phrases were loaded. So was that last one.
