[CAUT] Crossposting CAUT/Pianotech

[Cy Shuster]

Kawai KG-1CThere's been a lot of crossposting recently of topics to both 
Pianotech and CAUT.  While there is obviously an overlap, each list has a 
separate focus and audience.

My feeling is that there should be less of this, rather than more; 
crossposting dilutes the content of each, and causes confusion in 
discussions at times.  If there were 100% overlap, the only difference would 
be the subscriber list.

There are cases when crossposting is useful: with a stolen piano, a notice 
about the PTG server, so on.  And certainly if an answer isn't found on one 
list, post to the other.

It just feels vaguely disturbing to see several posts a week crossposted 
without an overt need to do so.  By the way, it's just reading the same 
posts twice that I wonder about; I have no concerns about any individual 
author.

Comments?

P.S. Apologies in advance for doing exactly that, crossposting...
