[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1851943, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=485733]@Moggely[/USER], I am sorry to hear you feel this way. I wonder if part of the problem is that those that have been on site for a long time reach a point where they are tired of and jaded by re-iteration. I am [I]not putting this forward as an excuse, just a thought. [/I] If the same question recurs and there appears to be a sign post of sorts to say, lchf (look here first) then how often does one repeat the same direction on forum to go to the signpost ? [I]Perhaps the site needs clearer signposting to these resources[/I] so that newbies can orientate themselves more purposefully to the site, read and then ask more specific questions if that information is not understood. Do we need [I]an index of 'already answered questions'[/I] which people can view first to see if their question has already been asked and answered ? Also, there is such a plethora of different forums, can anyone have time to read and respond to them all? [I]Having said that , the fact that no-one thought to link you to @ daisy1 is, I agree, an oversight.[/I] Yes, there is, by contrast, chit-chat on site which many believe forms a support and information-sharing structure of sorts but could be viewed as supercilious or superfluous by others. [I]Expressing your concerns and insights is a way to boost improvement of these forums. [/I] There is the [B]overarching caution for respondents [/B]to questions [I]to not[/I] [I]provide information of a professional nature.[/I] Some questioners may feel disappointed that they cannot be helped in this way. Their expectations are understandable in these cases but their disappointment may be unfairly assigned to the site or respondents on it. I hope the above is helpful and gives you some pause about leaving us. My very Best Wishes to you and your hubbie whatever you decide. Please keep enjoying the Midlands (of Tassie)!! [/QUOTE]
