Your view on posting the same message on multiple boards

[Ms Naughty]

Board Tracker occasionally reveals someone posting the same message across multiple boards. I have read an article on board etiquette that says it's impolite to do this.

At the same time, I'm aware that it's a great way to spread your sig about, start conversations, keep boards moving, and keep in touch with more people, while saving time.

So, what's your view? Should people do it or not?

And now... in a bout of ironic mischief, I've posted this same message to four boards so far. I don't normally do this. Do I deserve a spanking? LOL

Will be interesting to see how four different boards react.
