Agree, sometimes questions are way too brief and cryptic to even guess what is wanted by way of advice - so no response from me. Old journalism adage : "if you want better answers, ask better questions". Good advice for some on here!

Have a happy Christmas,

Val.

The good thing about the forum is that in 99.9% of posts, someone will provide an answer and impart wisdom, and even if they can't answer directly, will refer the query to a more appropriate location or site. It's never ceased to amaze me how much knowledge is to be found here.

Cheers Mick

The funny thing is people still answer stupid questions as it was the normal thing to do.

I'm waiting for someone to ask about investing and finances.

The world is full of people who can't make their own decision.......there the same people who blame someone else for their mistakes.

And then there are the people who make there own decisions and take of into the Simpson, Great sandy or whatever taking a 2lt bottle of water and a couple of sandwiches without asking. (;-)

Some of you lot are getting way too precious or full of yourselves. If someone posts a question, answer it if you can otherwise shut up.

Do we need to use x number of words to pose a question now ???

Hi Gone Bush, it is an interesting post you have, I am a little surprised at some of the responses, we are all different, some people are good with 'words' and others are not so good which could be why the questions are so short and sharp and straight to the point. I remember seeing that first example that you have put forward and thinking then that it was short and to the point however if I had any knowledge of 'solar esky's' I definitely would have responded to the question.

Fortunately there are not too many posts that go through without a response.

Merry Xmas

Cheers

I originally thought the "Solar Esky" question may be a 'fair dinkum' :)

""Maîneÿ (wa) posted:
I did find this, but it's only preferences for a project and it's dated NEXT year....
"841. Solar powered esky. View preferences for project. Year: 2009; Supervisors:. Dr. Anthony Zander and Prof. Valerie Linton; Moderators: Current Students"

So did not consider it as an existing working product that would be of interest to the original poster""

However after I googled, the only reply I received looked a bit suspect

Mainey . . .

The ones I love are like

"Can someone tell me the phone number and address of the TJM store in Danenong."

I't like saying - I can't be bothered looking up the address in the phone book, or yellow pages online or google so can you do it for me.

Some would say "If it ain't broke don't fix it". But lets face it 99% of the topics have been done to death a million times.

In my humble opion and I hope the Gods don't take it the wrong way, but this Forum needs a revamp like categories/headings/topics like so many other forums have/are, and just maybe so many of the stupid/repeat questions that are asked maybe eliminated... just maybe.

In the meantime... MERRY CHRISTMAS.

I think its more who rather than what, as to why some posts have multiple replies and some none.
