I hate it too. What was wrong with the old way of simply copying and pasting the message or linking it if you thought it was applicable to another forum? That way, the comments posted individually to each forum would be much easier to understand and be on topic to the forum at hand.
If the webmaster still wanted to do his cross posting he could, but for the rest of us the three second cut and paste should not be toooo taxing.
I hate ending up in another forum. I always feel mildly violated when it happens. Feels like being shanghaied.
HOW ABOUT A SURVEY, EH??
