Not at all - that's exactly what makes LBO-talk so wonderful! I had no
idea "cross-post" had such negative connotations - apologies if this was
perceived as criticism, that wasn't the intent. I use "post" for original
writing and "cross-post" for quoted articles, that's all. I do like to
acknowledge the person who cites an article, because I know how much time
and effort it takes to do this.

I can see why there would be confusion, though, so I'll stick to
"forwarded" from now on.
