It has always been my opinion that any question posed on this board deserves an answer no matter how stupid our uneducated the OP is.
So my advice to those interested in responding to said posts is.....
Answer the question first THEN attack.

One of my firsts posts was about my 7 week old Adie who was critically ill. I was politely told that she was too young to have been separated from her mother but having said that was advised to get her to an emergency vet immediately. (It was the 4th of July and my vet was gone.) I wasn't blasted but treated with kindness and encouragement. The advice I received probably saved her life. I think the difference in the responses I got and the ones our OP is referring to is that I actually considered and followed the advice I was given. Then reported on Adie's progress. Since that day I have been a loyal member of this board and admit to having blasted a few members myself. But INOM they deserved it after trying EVERYONE's patience or attacking a well-meaning member.

Bottom line - if you don't want advice don't ask for it.
