>>That is not the purpose of the forum, to send people off on wild goose chases so you can get your jollies!
I beg your pardon. WHERE, in any of my posts, have you seen any indication that I am deliberately trying to send anyone off on a wild goose chase? For my own amusement no less!!!
>>While everyone should indeed beware and verify anything they read here, you should refrain from giving advice when you don't know what you are talking about in the first place!
In the first place, YOU have no idea what I know about.
>> You first acknowledge your ignorance and then suggest the most risky of all options without considering any of the contingencies, that is worse than no advice at all.
As I understand the moderator, posters here are not supposed to engage in arguments concerning the merits of each other’s advice. Rather they are to post their own advice, leaving the OP with the choice of who or what to believe. I’ve found that policy to be an excellent one.
I have already acknowledged that I did not spend enough time elaborating on what I meant when I wrote my first answer to OP. She appeared to be quite aware of her liability and I felt she had the common sense to understand my suggestion.
I later considered I may have given her too much credit and returned to elaborate on my suggestion. I should have a dollar for every post here that assumes a certain level of intelligence on the part of the OP. You had already posted though, taking another approach. I chose to support your approach rather than elaborate on mine.
>>So why don't you read and learn and wait to give advice until you have some appropriate advice to offer.
I certainly take issue with your implication that I don’t have “some appropriate advice to offer” NOW.
I do try to remind myself that this is not my forum and I don’t have to answer anyone. It’s hard to change long held habits, but I continue to try.
