Quite a few askers themselves post their questions on a variety of portals in addition to asking them via Kudoz. So don't see why it should matter.

I find it mildly irritating when I Google a phrase someone has asked about, and the first hit I get is the Proz question itself and the second is from something like wordreference.com.
I think it's basic courtesy to say "I have also posted this question at ..." so that people aren't scurrying around looking for answers that have already been found on other sites.

If you want to help the asker by posting his/her question at a different portal, I think you could do that, as context provided with the question should be non-confidential info.
You could include a link as a Reference comment to the original question on ProZ. That way the asker himself/herself can follow the responses at that other site, and you won't run the risk of getting accused of using somebody else's work to get KudoZ points for yourself.

Thanks Katalin,
I think this the best solution, better to provide link of original question as reference.
Thanks again.
