Me and in answer to the post above...
Please read the opening line "tongue in cheek".
Some people seem to be a little touchy over something, I can't think what.

Well said Possoms; if I ever gave Three Legs any useful info, I'd like to retract it and give him misleading garbage instead

I have in fact asked at least 5 of the questions on my "annoyance" list.
It's a bit of fun, nothing more nothing less. Please read the whole original post again.

There seems to be plenty here all spoiling for a fight.
Ripe pickings for the "right" kind of troll I suspect.
Another thread another time maybe.

Must admit though any advice I can offer is usually through pm. Don't feel the need to post about every dollar earnt/spent, or how good our jobs are- - no offence but we came out here for a different life to get away from the materalistic way of life where you don't have to worry about what car, house, how much they are worth, what salary you earn blah blah blah. Certainly don't feel the need to brag about it-(as some do) or that's how it reads.
Quite happy to browse now and again and have a little giggle!! Quite happy to offer advice which I do via pm (as I know how useful little tips are) but no longer feel the need to 'share the load'. 7 months here and we feel sorted!!
For anyone moving here - it's what you make it and if you make it feels good
