The response to this informal RFD has been both underwhelming and inconclusive. I got one vote here (namely, yours) for Option 2 and one vote by e-mail for Option 1. And in the thread that led to this RFD, a third poster wrote that "allowing cross-posts, or many cross-posts, is likely to result in chaos, flame-wars and worse", which could be interpreted as supporting either option. Given the lack of a clear consensus to change the moderation rules, I think the best course of action is to preserve the status quo for the time being. Regards, Tristan -- Dr.-Ing.
