Don't worry about it. Some people are so touchy about cross-posting.
In my opinion, I thought it was perfectly acceptable. It was a general
question and you posted to relevant groups.
Some people read many groups yet a lot of people only read one group!
I'm sure there are lots of people who only read the .vb group. If you
didn't cross-post, those people wouldn't see it.
Cross-posting is not a sin; it's a feature. It has been there in Usenet
for as long as I've been using it (1989). I've crossposted before, and
I thought hard before I did, knowing someone would surely jump down my
throat about it and totally ignore my question.
I think your question is the real problem. It's way too vague to even
begin to answer. A more appropriate response would be:
What kind of application are you trying to optimize? Network? UI?
Does it involve interop? etc.
So, you may want to think about your question a bit to narrow the scope.
There's a lot of information at sites like
http://www.codeproject.com as
well that you may find useful.
