Same question posted 3 times by a newbie and we are a.. holes????

The question was posted to different states to get opinions from different people. I don't see what was wrong with that. Its not Like I asked the same question twice in NY!

Kwalker -- it's just considered nicer "form" to top your posts, rather than continualy reposting the same question. It helps keep clutter down on the forums, as well as allows people trying to help you to see the responses you've already gotten. It also keeps people who already tried to help from feeling like you're ignoring or disregarding them. Since you seem to be a new poster, hope you take this info as it's meant -- just some helpful advice!

Okay, more info that a lot of new posters don't realize -- all posts get sent only to one US forum. The individual categories by state are only to assist in searches. So yeah, actually you did unintentionally post all your questions to the same forum. But it's a common misunderstanding of the forum.

To add to jv827's very helpful replies:

If you do want to post your question under more than one search category (that's all they are when you post - not separate forums) you can do that with one post. When you make your initial post, just select all the states that you want it to be categorized under.

And, for those who don't believe that there really aren't separate forums for the separate states, just go to

http://www.fodors.com/forums/threadselect.jsp?fid=1

A very large % of people who read/post here go straight to the US board without filtering posts by state (because we feel we can help with more than one state), and this is what we see. Nowhere on that listing is there an indication of which states were chosen as categories for the initial post. :)
