Why Post?

[Hotspur]

Hi Folks,

What can be more discouraging at times is to make well thought out replys to someone looking for information and never reading of the person posting again. I imagine it may be because they got what they were looking for in regard to information. More frustrating than that though is seeing one's exact information as presented and then finding them attached to a sale description.

At any rate, I figured this was a thread to post to and also make an appearance of hello. I probably know a few here from days past and in continuance. I hope to be here as a student with occasional offerings that can help.

Cheers

Welcome HS,

Regarding your post, there's always the proverbial silver lining. When you answer some cad's question, you are also teaching to those others who are following the exchange.

If the original poster disappears without further contributions, it's his loss. In the end, there's a net positive balance in the equation.

One of the strangest things I learned from Life is that we also learn when we teach. In fact, I daresay we learn more while teaching...

Best
