Re^2: Dec to Hex (NON-ASCII mode )

On one hand, I can understand your frustration/aggravation of seeing someone post the same question on multiple sites.

On the other hand, I don't seem to recall that PM had a requirement (or expected etiquette) that an individual is not allowed to post a question on this site as well as other sites (with or without explicit declaration of such "crossposting"). Also, I was unable to locate such documentation on this site that states this policy.

If you don't mind, could you please help point me to the documentation that states this policy so that I, an ignorant fool, can become enlightened?

It's not an agreement, it's common sense (plus politeness). And the point is not to forbid crossposting, but to explicitly point out the cross-post: If you crosspost on sites A and B, and you already get a good answer on site A, persons reading only site B will not be aware that you already received an answer on A, and will try to unnecessarily answer your question again. You, kind of, waste the effort of people trying to help you. -- Ronald Fischer <ynnor@mm.st>	[reply] [d/l]
