So do I, but I frequently find that what I wrote for one venue needs to be
tweaked slightly to suit the place where the person wants to repost it (for
example, because the context of earlier posts in the thread in the original
forum would be unknown there), so more often than not I make some small
changes to it and ask the reposter to use the modified version.

That's yet another reason to consult with the author first.
