where else) ?
Where did you learn to multipost?
Do you understand why it is not a good practice?
Cross-post next time. This avoids creating separate, isolated
conversations on the same topic between different groups of people.

He didn't for the same reason _you_ didn't: he saw something he thought
it would be helpful to give advice about, even if he didn't have an
answer to the particular question.
Multiposting wastes _everybody's_ time, as it can cause lots of
different people to follow the thread in however many newsgroups the
problem is posted to, without those people being aware of what each
other are suggesting.
