Even if I were to purposefully ask the question in multiple places, why does that concern you? wasn't aware that asking for help in multiple places is forbidden.
It's not forbidden -- simply disrespectful. We all volunteer our available time to respond to questions, and most of us tend to follow multiple lists, so by asking on both you'll waste the time of those responders unaware that an appropraite response has already been provided, although in an alternate forum. I generally don't even read threads where I recognize that a respected or known respondant has already replied. When I see a question posed on multiple forums I note the poster and tend to disregard their future posts. When it continues you'll start seeing *plonk* as potential respondnts add you to their kill file.
See http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#forum in particular, but the entire article should be committed to memory.
