Just curious ???? Whats up with that??

Human nature, I think. In my experience, most people who ask for advice just want you to validate the decision they've already made.



Years ago, my brother-in-law asked my advice about a used car. After looking at it for him, I advised him not to buy it, due to a couple obvious problems specific to that car as well as a well-known design problem with that model. He bought it anyway, then started pestering me for advice every time the car had a problem (which was often). After the 2nd or third time, I told him to quit calling me and to call instead the dealership which sold it to him. After all, he got in this mess by ignoring my advice -- <I>which he asked for</I> -- in favor of theirs. He wasn't too happy with me for awhile (he eventually got over it), and he was stuck with the constant repairs to that piece of junk for a few years.

I see the same thing as Todd Z.



I also see the reverse happening. Someone asks for advice on Shocks (or whatever). He is immediately greeted with some smart ass comment about doing a search. Someone else helps him out with good advice.



Someone else chimes in and hijacks the thread (like this) with something off topic. 100 posts later we have found out who is pro abortion and anti religion, hates the president or former president, thinks all cops are out to get them and a host of other unrelated topics.



I vacillate between not caring about the site and the irresistible urge to see what garbage is being spun as fact...

Funny.. I come here to ask for recommendations about some of the most obscure stuff, lately being what Macintosh I should buy.

There are a few here that believe they never make a bad decision or have a wrong opinion on anything. When someone doesn't agree with them, they get all bent out of shape...they take it as a personal assault to their ego.

Since I have been coming to this site, I have reduced the doseage on my

strongest medications by 50% !!!.

This site lets me know that there are other people out there just like me!!!

I am no longer a threat to society!!!
