I totally agree. A practise that often drives the true 'customer' of this forum away - the DIYer.

I totally agree. A practise that often drives the true 'customer' of this forum away - the DIYer.

I totally agree with that, too, and have often made the same observation myself - but it seems to happen so often. I don't know to what extent it's well-intentioned, a matter of 'ego', or what, but it's very common for an early 'sensible and pragmatic answer' to be followed by someone jumping in with a '....but what about reg XYZ' comment (or soemthing similar), which then triggers a lengthy 'debate'. I may sometimes be guilty of that (starting such a debate) myself, but it's usually after one has got going that I find it difficult to stop myself jumping in - particularly if I feel that people who are 'trying to be clever' have got things a bit wrong!

However, it's certainly not unique to this forum. I've seen, and still do, exactly the same happening in discussion groups across a wide range of disciplines. It may, in part, be one thing that keeps 'regulars' interested enough to continue contributing to discussion groups - if it feels merely like working FOC for a Q&A 'helpdesk', I suspect that the novelty soons wanes for most people!

Kind Regards, John.

Thanks for all your comments but the question is can I put a plug on it or not?

Yes definitely, but safely insulate the extra little black wire which is not required.
