Cross posting is fine, provided:

  1. You respect the differences in the audiences at the different sites;
  2. You allow some time to pass between successive questions, and update them in the light of the answers previously received; and
    
  3. Really the first point again, you should have an idea what the new site offers in terms of expertise to crack your question that the previous site did not.
