Nick's a polite guy.
Me, I'd've merged all your cross-posts into one, and left you to sort out the mess.
CROSS-POSTING WASTES TIME - DON'T DO IT.
Clear enough?
You have close on 200 posts - surely you must've noticed how antipathetic the forum is to cross-posters?
Moderators are just like a concierge (the kind you used to get in French apartment buildings) - we have to clean up after other people.
As it happens, your cross-posts were reported by another member.
