Laura,

Multiply postings upset members because while they are working on one thread on Records someone else is working on a thread on Tips and everybody ends up duplicating the answers which has already been found. So it ends up wasting time, and sometimes expenses, that could have been used to help other members.

My comments were added partly in response to another member who has chosen to remove their comments.
