>Anyone can cut and paste from one board to another. I think I posted how I used to do this myself once, but can't seem to find it now...
Yes but then doesn't my posting name come up as the poster? That happened to me once before and all the replies were directed to me like it was my post. I did say that I was trying to redirect a newbie post - but people didn't seem to get that.
>But what about just explaining to them how to get to the main board themselves? Give a newbie a fish, and you feed him for a day...
Sure, thats what I have been doing. I think it is a bit tricky sounding and offputting. But then I suppose it is up to them how important their question is. Depends on how accessible you want this to be I suppose.
PS I don't really care too much. Just a thought..
