You need to get a life.

Why is it that the phrase "you need to get a life" is the first suggestion to fall out of people's mouth when this kind of thing happens?

and I certainly know the rules 

Obviously not as has already been abundantly pointed out.

and I believe this one time event should be an allowable exception to the rule of double posting.

Wanna bet? :D ;)

If I knew any of the mods on the board personally I would ask them to cross thread the post, but I don't so I can't.

You could have emailed them to ask for assistance in getting the information out there. A newspost on the main page....stickied thread in the those places to point to this one, etc.

Dozer and others have pointed out that what you have done goes against the acceptable rules of this group. If you've truly been around for five plus years you may wish to start addressing the topic rather than attacking the posters. Just a little FYI for you. :)
