Even if the OP never returns or listens to the advise, others learn from the discussion.
I agree. 20/20.this is a great sight
Ya I also saw someone's question with the exact same words and everything on a different site. Posted two minutes after this onestephen9666 said:How about this example.
Someone posted the same question twice, so not only is the same topic taking up two spaces, they were even written by the same poster.

Yes you do.......It's called 'comedic relief'.......Then there is people like me. I don't have a lot to contribute but I am learning a huge amount and gaining confidence to complete jobs on my own. Plus, as a Realtor, I take the added knowledge with me when I tour homes.

I agree, many pros charge for there time and then you only get one opinion. With this you get multiple opinions for free plus a large range of experience and knowledge. And from all over the US and Canada.creeper said:It doesn't seem strange to me at all that the bulk of vistitors here are drive bys. Ordinary homeowners come here by chance, find the answer to their problem and move on. Unfortunately, they don't realize (and how could they?) that they have stumbled upon an amazing free resource held together by competent pro's who so generously give their time and share their knowledge.

As an extra bonus, you get to know some of the regulars and make some on-line friends. If you are really lucky you can call some people real friends.

Then you have some who come back mad as the dickens blasting, because they didn't follow instructions, and somehow it is our fault they didn't follow instructions as they should. Sorry, I haven't had enough coffee this morning.The satisfaction when someone says 'thank you so much--it worked' makes up for the schleps---
Still it would be nice if people would come back more often with the results of our help---
