There could also be the fact that the enquirer does not possess the "skills" to carry out a particular recommendation.
One example, the number who find "electricity" baffling. However this is no longer an issue, as we can now point them to the excellent article that spells it out simply.
With regards to looking it up, which I do, either on the forum or the web, it doesn't always work.
Example, I looked for the article on electrical referred to above but could not find it, fortunately I knew who authored it and found it that way.
I am often astounded by links that others put up in the forum and am at a loss as to how they are found. Obviously my searching skills need more work.
I used to work on the principle to never ask anyone to do what I couldn't do.
Over the years, with experience, I have learnt that, that is flawed logic. There are some who can't do it and others that can.
Which may translate to, works for me but does it work for him???
At the end of the day, let us not cut them off, even if they are lazy and that does certainly come across, this forum has good repute and needs all our support to carry it on.
So guys, keep it up I appreciate the commentary and advice.
