That depends on the culture of the forum that one posts to[1]. 
There are forums for which posting in multiple forums in a short 
time is frowned upon, and for which the original poster risks 
that knowledgeable readers will avoid responding to upon 
becoming aware of the multiple posts.

It is less risky to post to a single forum at a time, 
then wait until the thread in that forum has reached a 
conclusion before posting into another forum.
