Mate, a couple of people gave GREAT advice in a couple of sentences. I followed that advice and the result was fantastic !
Others appeared to give advice, but:
1) If you looked closely it was actually information which had little bearing on solving the problem and certainly added nothing useful to what had already been said
2) What it did contain however, were alot of unnecessary insults. And it seems that the advice in (1) was mainly designed to demonstrate that (as they said directly) 'you don't know what you're talking about'. In other words, it was a classic attempt at 'humiliation-by-advice' ! 🤣
That's why I responded to THOSE people with counter-criticisms of what they said, and THANKED the people who kept their comments to helpful info.
It's fine if you ignore me. That means other people will see what I have to say in response to you, but ironically, you won't! 🤣
Anyway, it seems that all of us that wrote things that were (from mildly to moderately) snarky utterly wasted our time, because the mod(s) deleted those posts. And a good thing too I say!
It provides a good disincentive against being unkind. And from now on, I will just report posts that contain that stuff. It's probably the biggest cause of public forums being less than they can be.
