Anyone who comes on diynot for a simple answer will likely be disappointed, some offer partial answers then disappear, some ask for further info from the OP and either don't get it, or don't follow up with an answer, some create sub threads and argue/debate about the issues they raise. And there are the same arguments that come up time and time again for re argument. Many posts are not answered at all.
I don't defend any of that, but posting and the way posts are replied to, is a lottery. If you want a professional opinion you pay a professional and get a site visit. Everything else is at your risk. I've learnt a huge amount just by contributing but recognise that it is an imperfect science at best.
