Re: Problems with Racial traits
No, because he added a constructive suggestion for dealing with the supposed "problem", rather than just indulging in self-absorbed whining.
Not that I agree with the suggestion, mind you. If somebody asked a question, but wanted all replies posted to another thread on some other site that I don't normally read, I probably wouldn't bother answering.
When I have a question that I could post in multiple forums, I post it in the one I think most likely to produce a useful reply, then wait a week or so for an answer before trying again on the next most likely site.

Re: Problems with Racial traits
Self-absorbed whining? What? Wasting people's time giving answers that have already been given affects everyone. Posting a link to the other thread where the answer has been posted seems like a solution to me...

Re: Problems with Racial traits
I've been under a tremendous amount of stress for the past few months. I'm just fed up with people disappointing me, no matter how low I set my expectations of them.
Fyron, I apologize for taking that out on you, because that isn't what you did.

Which is a perfectly valid option too.
In the street corner example, you'd wait until the first guy says "Hmm... I dunno" before asking someone else.
(As opposed to asking the second and third guys to help find it on the first guy's map)

Re: Problems with Racial traits
For the record, when I post a question here and then again on another ( Fyron's  ) site, I do so with the idea in mind that NOT everyone on one sight will see it posted on the other OR care to follow a link there. As a result I quite frequently get broader or more informative responses to a given question, statement, or posting, and from a wider variety of people.
I also make a point of wording any given post, title and all, EXACTLY the same way each place, assuming that if " one" saw it posted on a differing sight, and " one" didn't care to read or respond to it again, " one" could simply and readily skip it through prior recognition, thus avoiding any need to complain about reading the same post on each sight.
Perhaps I was in error doing this in this manner?

Re: Problems with Racial traits
No, you're right BK. You hit a broader collection of knowledge this way.
Not all of us "Know It All's" are on one site!!!

Re: Problems with Racial traits
My suggestion is just a cross-link to the other threads in your first post, so that everybody can easily see what has already been said.
