Guessing, but I think he is meaning that if you post to one forum and
get a good answer and then decide to not bother with it then why should
a second forum have to provide an answer to a question (take the time of
people who are providing it for free (as in beer)) that has already been
asked and satisfactorily answered. Assuming the answer wasn't sufficient
then she should have stated as such, either in that other forum or in
this post so that we know what she has tried and what has failed.
