The important thing is to always make sure the individual inquiring understands that you are presenting an alternative

X2 on the bold type.

If "that" member has gone because of the comments in his thread I think that that is a shame as it looked like an interesting thread to me - but - we all need to remember this is a forum not facebook!

If you want to put stuff on the internet and only get praise then facebook is the place for you - they're always gonna think you're "great" there mate. Here you might get conflicting advice - no matter how angry or irritated the replies may appear - it is up to the OP whether he or she takes the advice given. And if the OP decides not to take someone's advice well hey what does it matter anyway? Chill out.
