Personally I think once you cross-post the same question here and in the Autodesk customization NG, you don't deserve an answer. Because you are assuming your question is more important than the time and effort wasted in the process by others.

Frankly, I'm sick of seeing cross-posts. There no point reading here if most of what I see is a regurgitation of what I read elsewhere.



To suggest that this post does not deserve an answer is ludicrous. I myself use the this site as a learning tool, to learn from others as well as the many pros here. I do not use any other NG or site so I can't speak about that. But let's just all get along and not bash someone for posting a duplicate post that may appear on other sites. Just a thought!! :laugh:

There are only a couple of people who do it  Joe ... doesn't take long to learn which posts to ignore.

... but it's a pity we won't see you again :-(

I dont like it either, but i think its funny to watch what posts are answered here and not on other sites. I watch them look and stair while i watch people here embrass the challange. I think it just goes to show the ``level of company'' here.  People get answers here.

Thank you everyone for what you give.

I used to read & post in the Autodesk NG all the time, but I started to find the people in there rude & unhelpful, so I started to ignore it. I know this question would be a hard one to solve so I gave the Autodesk NG a second chance. As you can see I didn't get any replays tell late yesterday, but had 10 or so replays here in just a few hours after my first post. I find this NG much more friendly & helpful to it's members, unless people like yourself start posting unhelpful comments like yours. So I'm going to stop posting in the Adesk NG & you can go ahead & hang out with the unhelpful people over there.

thx to everyone else that has been helpful in trying to figure out my problem.

Bazzacad,
This is not a NG, this is a community.  :-)
And like any community, you have some people that are willing to "lend a hand" (this is what makes theswamp such a great place) and then you have others that can't remember what it's like to ask questions (Hmmm...Is this because they know it all?). Asking questions (without fear of rude answers) is part of what has made theswamp such a wonderful place. So ask away... And BTW, Welcome to the Swamp!

Oops, sorry you're right, this is a great community.

The issue isn't with asking a question, it is about asking the same question in two different places.  I feel the same as Joe and Kerry, and find myself not wanting to answer questions posted by these people.  If it only happens once or twice its cool with me, but if it becomes a constant theme, then I won't answer the questions.

Hope that clears up what the issue is/was.

However, this feedback (about dual posting) could have been provided in a constuctive manner. Since not everyone knows what offends someone else it would have been more appropriate to send the person a PM and tell them in private or do like Greg did in this thread and find a nice way of explaining things without coming across sounding...uh..that way.

True it could have been said in a less aggressive way.

I hope both people will remain at theswamp, and continue to ask/answer questions.

Tim, I suggest you go back and re-read what I said.

I don't think anyone had a problem with your post Kerry, only Joe's.  At least that is what I'm going on.

And I hope Joe doesn't leave, as he has been a good person to bounce ideas off of, and get some great routines and help from.  I value him as a friend and a resource.

Joe, while I can appreciate your candor and point of view regarding cross-posting, you should be aware that theswamp has absolutely nothing at all to do with the Autodesk news groups. In fact, I think you will find that many of the visitors to theswamp rarely if ever visit the Autodesk NG.
The reason you might find that true, is because here at theswamp, we pride ourselves on being at least a little bit civilized (unlike the NG's) and we don't tolerate flaming. The mere fact that something was posted elsewhere on the internet does not constitute cross-posting. In fact, if you were to do a web search using just about any search engine on just about any topic, you will find hundreds if not thousands of nearly identical problems and posts to bulletin boards and forums all over the internet. Now that is not to say that we condone defacto cross posting, in fact, if there is identical posts (or nearly identical) by the same person, we as moderators and admins will do our best to remove the one posted in the incorrect place or move it to the correct forum. This is where you can help. In the future if there is a cross-posted topic (or off topic post for that matter) all you need to do is select the "report to moderator" link and we will be glad to review the post in question and take whatever action is deemed necessary.
Thanks for you participation and help in making this the fine place it is.
