- Don't cast aspersions on the tradesman
- Don't generalise
- Don't try and appear to know it all. We can smell Google Warriors a mile off
- Say please and thanks
- Give us specific information about the system you are having problems with. If in doubt look at past threads.
- Don't think your problem is unique or never been answered here. It has you just haven't looked hard enough.
- Don't assume you know the nature and situation of the professional poster.
- Be careful of advice given by Google Warriors. Not many professionals give jip to other professionals here. If a poster is taken the micky out of, and they have more than a couple of hundred posts to their name, then they're probably muppets.
- Beware of mods posting advice. Certain ones are clueless but hide behind their ability to delete posts.
- A sarcy answer does not imply grumpiness. Maybe weariness at the same question being asked AGAIN. Or perhaps you've brought a sob story with you. We're not heartless. But, we've heard it before.
- Pictures are usually better than your description.
- Many of us are well educated. Quite possibly more so than you. Assume nothing.
- We reserve the right to take the pish. This forum costs you nothing. It costs us time and our training costs A LOT of money.
