Title: 12 Heads are Better Than One!
Post by: pcdoc4christ on August 13, 2005, 12:51:16 AM
Something to think about:

The cool thing about this forum is that someone with a problem may get free advice from many folks.  

Now,  if you don't think of yourself as an expert, but think you may add something to the conversation PLEASE DO!  Even if you just ask a question, it may lead someone else to the answer.

I'm no expert, and several forum regulars are able to think circles around me on many topics, but i usually find i have some suggestion that helps in some way for some topics.  It's like i'm holding one piece of a HUGE collection of puzzles, and someone else has another piece, and someone else has another, and so on.  Absolutely *none* of us has all the pieces to every puzzle (anyone who says she does is not being honest!) so don't be afraid to add to any conversation here.

OK, i'll get off my soap box, now.   :)

It's people like you, Doc, and thinking like that which makes this the best website on the net.

It couldn't have been said any better.

Cheers, and hear, hear!

I enjoy solving puzzles, but some pieces may be illogically manufactured resulting in pieces that do not fit..

I do agree that we each need to give some input as they will make the picture more clear, solving puzzles has never been a competition only relaxation. Or frustration.  ;D

The annoying thing when trying to solve a problem is when u think u have it all figured out a new piece of the puzzle is given to you changing the picture all together and makes u have to start again  :P

"Something to think about:"   ......Right on !!!......

It is always great to have a problem to solve .......HOWEVER .......it is extremely frustrating to read and reread a posters issue .... to be sure that the advice offered applies to their issue ......only to find out 4 or 5 posts later .........that ...OH YES .......would it matter that my anti whatever thingy ........found a thingy .......but I couldn't  get rid of it ........  

I realise that when your pc is acting up , you get frustrated .......but Please when posting the problem ....try and tell us .......what operating system your using . then explain the issue as best you can ....and include helpful little info like ...I think its a virus because that what the AV thingy says ....... and its called whatever .......
or if the issue revolves around a error message .......post the message exactly as it came up .

Little things like that can really help resolve issues .....

Don't ask the good folks here how to find serial numbers for  programs that require a product code.....LOL ........you know what I mean......... That isn't what this forum is all about ......
This forum works because ....we all have one thing in common ......we all use computers. I don't mean that we are experts , nerds or whatever , but rather a very large group of people from all over the world ....who are prepared to help someone who has a problem or even just a question about their computer ...........
We dont make house calls or do windows ........LOL

So join in ...its fun and it's free.

Cheers

You can say that again!

In fact, i think it bears repeating:
