Helpfull?

[TWR]

Apart from the silly billies on here, do you find when you have asked for some advise, help, someone to listen, you get an honest thought out reply?

[Prudie]

Certainly on practical questions. You yourself have helped me more than once in motoring. I've never really posted for emotional advice though.

[carmalee]

Absolutely - apart from the usual who think they are being funny when in fact they are just being pathetic - I've had nothing but helpful and extremely supportive advice from AB - i think it's an extremely helpful and very broad spectrum of expertise site - I've had answers to a range of problems which have, incidently, saved me a lot of money. Yes, it's a very good site- lots of really nice people answer here

[starone]

Yes.

[ladybird49]

Yes , especially good advice / info off Buenchico
had some replies that took the p1$$ though ....

[B00]

Yes, im always amazed that when you really really need a shoulder to cry on, folks here will rally round. Like you said TWR, apart from a few "silly billies" this IS an awesome site, with some fantastic members.

[DTCwordfan]

yes, especially when it is a serious matter - it is one of the strengths of AB

and, yes, we can have our silly moments and threads......

[JonnyBoy12]

Do I count as a silly-billy then, TWR? I hope not, as I try to give some helpful advice.

[Postdog]

If I ask in an appropriate section. Snag to that is sometimes no replies.I'm not knocking CB cos I am one of those silliy billies when here, but I think if you ask something serious here you are leaving yourself open to that.

[anneasquith]

yes, there are some extremely helpful and pleasant abers, the " silly billies " are in the minority thankfully,

[TWR]

You know what I mean Jonny?

[DTCwordfan]

well we can all have our moments, both ways........

(and that isn't a bi reference given some of the threads over recent days!!!!

[albaqwerty]

I've had helpful replies and some humourous ones which 99% weren't offensive.

I hope I've also offered a shoulder to lean on and offered some reasonably sensible advice.

[rowanwitch]

I try to be helpful where I can... and jon in the general idiocy when that is not required.... I often type replies that I never submit though and try to remember it is a real person behind the avatar and user name

[B00]

I dunno Trim, some of us have really appreciated replies when we've posted some difficult posts, i know i've spilled my guts a couple of times on here and folk have been fantastic rallying round and generally being a shoulder, all be it cyberly, to cry on.

Can't get that from Google :-)

[jg96]

I've nearly always had good answers on here and make a point of thanking people who have gone to the trouble of sharing there knowledge and taking the time to type an answer

[sandyRoe]

I like to answer crossword questions. It saves me the cost of buying papers to do them.

[boxtops]

Generally - yes. My crossword skills have improved enormously since I have tried to start answering, as well as asking.

[starone]

Trim, when I started posting here I was completely computer illiterate, but I have learned quite a lot from asking and getting good replies, and although I would not say I am now literate, at least you could cross the completely off. So don't knock it and stop the 'better than thou' postings.
