I can think of no greater evidence of the high quality of a post than 
a negative reaction from Bob LaMontagne.  Talk about 
self-righteousness........

<http://tinyurl.com/2m59v4>: ABSTRACT: I argue that cross-posting, 
although often condemned as  sinful, can promote synergistic 
discussion of issues, as recently  indicated in discussions of 
"Piaget & Dewey: Down for the Count?"  Those who dislike cross-posts 
can either take a few milliseconds to  hit the "delete" button, or 
else monitor and post to lists by subscribing in the NOMAIL option, 
thus allowing them to avoid seeing the posts of known cross-posters 
and other such irritating people.
