[Haskell-cafe] What is the etiquette for posting to multiple forums?

2011-10-21 Thread Michael Litchard
I know it's bad form to post the same question to multiple mailing
lists. But what about say, the beginner's mailing list and
stackoverflow.com?

Hi,

Nothing is carved in stone, use your judgment. It shouldn't be done
systematically but from time to time, it is interesting to point
people to existing discussion (e.g. blog post, reddit thread, or SO
answers).

I believe currently SO and beginners' mailing list have not exactly
the same audience so if you don't get the answer you're after in one
place, trying later in the other is fine.

Cheers,
Thu
