Drain effectiveness

In this case, the answer could only either have been "yes" or "no." It's not a matter of opinion. Someone either knows the answer or doesn't. So to me, posting it simultaneously on both boards would either signify a lack of trust (i.e. you need two independent people to give the same answer before accepting it) or impatience (i.e. if you post it two places, the expected delay before receiving an answer goes down).

I'm relating this specifically to technical questions like this one, where it doesn't really matter who you're asking as long as they know the right answer. Subjective matters like strategy things would be different.
