@KullBorg: In my opinion, double postings ruin forums more than people saying that you shouldn't double post. Just saying...
The minimum, minimum you could have done is put a link to the other post in each post, mentioning that you also asked in another subforum.
People here are spending their spare time on helping others and this time is valulable. don't you think?. If someone responds your question that has actually already been answered in another part of the forum, then this is a waste of time that the voluntary helper could have spend on answering someone elses question.
And especially Joffm can't be accused of "ruining" this forum. He is probably the most pacient responder here on the forum and provides very detailed and elaborated responses.
Now, if you have problems with some basic rules of decency (Most forums do not like double posts), then you'll have hard time in the future to find people volutarily help you out.
A simple: "Oh, sorry, my bad!" and this would have been solved...
