Dear all,
I wonder if other users of this site find it useful to read other people's posts and threads even if they are not at the moment directly useful to their own situation.
I find it very useful to read how other people have had problems that I might have in the future, or who have found solutions that might help me in the future, or even just posted things that I feel I might just file away in case they are needed at some point.
Because of this, I tend to read a wide variety of posts from members, and sometimes reply if I think I have something relevant to contrbute (I might not always be as helpful as I think, but my advice can be ignored if it isn't appropriate).
Does anyone have a problem with this, i.e would you rather people who aren't directly able to assist with your current problem not read your post? Would you rather only get responses from people with absolute solutions rather than just suggestions or messages of support.
It has been suggested to me that most members do not access a variety of posts, but only those pertinent to their own situation.
Is that the norm? Does anyone else find it useful to access non-related posts?
I am beginning to feel that I am odd in this. I just find it useful to read other people's posts, I thought that was one of the purposes of this site.
Love to you all
Margaret
