Why I do not answer every posting

Tim McElwain Member Posts: 4,612
I received an e-mail from someone who was upset that I did not answer their posting. I do not answer every posting for a very good reason most of the time. That is others have adequately answered the question or concern and I do not need to chime in. There are some very talented people available on this website and my many years of posting here have taught me that if something has been adequately answered do not put in my .02 cents worth.

Also for that persons concern Dan Holohan does not pay me and I am not a member of his staff. I post here as do many others with no desire to be paid but to only help those who need help.

    You're the diamond in a pile of rocks. Everyone should be able to find the diamond. Most never do.

    You can choose to do what you want, but you cannot choose the consequences.

    I just can't get over that the advice of the professional and knowledgeable homeowners is so freely given as well as FREE.

    Check your bank statement. My SS check is a direct deposit. Maybe it was directly deposited in your bank account.

    If you're concerned that the check might fall out of a postcard, you can always run it through a printer and put the check on the blank side.

    Just be sure to not put anything on the other side for the bank's purposes.
