Oops - sorry, symantics - my moderator duties at another site considers
multiposting within that site as cross-posting since the 200+ forums there
are each considered distinct (i.e., Microsoft Help forum is not same as
Software Help forum)... I'll definitely try to keep the distinction clearer
in my head in the future. Thanks for the clarification on terminology here.

Cross posting the exact same question in multiple forums, . . .

Try using correct terminology. OP *MULTIPOSTED*, not crossposted.
Crossposting would have been OK - posting to multiple newsgroups at the same
time by putting them all into the newsgroups tag. Sensible newsreader
software will treat the article as read in all crossposted newsgroups when
read in any one of them.
