I'm no moderator but I'd say it's better to not do that as it's pretty much the same as cross posting. Having multiple threads for the same thing is worse than posting in the wrong forum IMO. I don't know how others search but I only use the New Posts list so it never matters what forum something is posted in beyond sometimes providing clues as to what's going on. Anyway, now others can read what's at the link if they so choose. That is something you ought to do in the future if you think a prior thread is similar/the same issu or will provide context to others. It doesn't even have to be your own thread to provide context.
The more we hear silence, the more we begin to think about our value in this universe.
