This question on MathOverflow.net was asked at roughly the same time as this identical question on math.stackexchange.com. I do not think this is a behavior we should encourage, but I am having trouble thinking of a coherent reason why I feel this way. The best I can say is that it seems a little spammy. I'd like to hear what others think.
I agree. There have been a couple of times that I've asked a question here and posted a link to it on the nForum, but that's because a lot of the people over there don't frequent MO. Having it appear on two stackexchange sites is gratuitous.
If the same question has been posted to both MO and math.SE, then it's probably not at the right level for one of the sites. This question, for example, is too elementary for MO, and should be closed.
I would not be against double posting per se so long as it was clearly marked as such and with a comment something along the lines of:
I've posted this here and at meta.SE [link] because I'm not sure what level the question belongs to.
Though I would say that my gut reaction to such a question would be: "If you're not sure, post it at meta.SE and see if you get a good answer. If not, try it here second.". But I also think that we should not close a question here just because it appears over there. If it has already been adequately answered over there then I would vote to close, but not just because it appears there.
In fact, this question was triple posted! It was also posted at SO.
