"Cross Posting" is when someone posts the same question/comments in more than one Forum category. For example, posting the same in both the "General Forum" and in the "HP Prime Forum". People that do this think they will get more responses, but it just serves to pollute the forums.

We don't seem to see much of that here, but it's quite common on some other forums I visit.

Another annoying tendency by some people (haven't seen it here) is to reply to their own original post with a one word post: "Bump". This serves to "Bump" their thread back to the top of the list. This is very common on one forum I visit, with people "Bumping" their threads several times a day.

One last annoyance is people who ask a question and then seem to get upset when they don't get an instant response. I've seen people who after only one hour will re-post with "I guess no one has an answer." I guess text messaging has made a lot of people think they are entitled to an instant response.

Ooops - I guess I got a little carried away with what annoys me.
