That was the point exactly. Judging from the various responses, I think doing this manually as you and others have suggested is probably the best way to go, because:

1. "Crossposts" probably won't occur often.
2. Manual copy, paste, post is easy enough.

Unfortunately, any mention of linking to or from this site ended up being more of a distraction to the discussion than anything else. The intent was not to simply drop a link in a message and post it. This would be irritating, and would deliver very little standalone value - both to a user browsing messages daily, and to someone searching archived posts. I also agree that practical implementation would be problematic.

I appreciated all the responses even if a response was only a negative xp vote which is feedback of a kind, I suppose ;-) While there are individuals who prefer one forum in exclusion of any other, I am not among them. The basic idea was to find a way of propagating some goodness outside of Perlmonks borders in a way which might be useful to others who choose not to use Perlmonks for whatever reason.

Thanks again for the feedback,
