Double posting is inconsiderate because it adds to the congestion of
the inboxes of those who are subscribed to both lists.

Some people, like myself, want to  follow the lists without having
to sort thru excessive postings. I suppose unsubscribing from one or
the other is an option. 

But let's not drive people away with excess and redundant traffic.
That's why I'm suggesting showing some consideration and thought
about our posts. 

Let's all think twice before double posting or making unecessary
comments.
