In my opinion, Joseph, I trust you for advice. You have given me excellent advice in the past few years to make me trust your judgement on these matters. I will gladly ask for help from you whenever I have trouble whether you own the device, or not. I know that you go to the effort to explore for answers to questions, and that is what some of us like. I like to study the manuals for answers, but not everybody can do understand the manual the way I can. So, having someone like you who can understand the written manual, is an important assett for people in need of help.
Thank you for being there when people like me need you! smile. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph Lee" <[email protected]> To: unknown <[email protected]> Date: Friday, Jul 16, 2010 11:04:59 Subject: [GWN] A question to ponder about giving advice > > > Hi folks, > While reading the responses to today's event, I thought I should bring this > discussion to the table: > Should a person who does not have a specific device but knows (and > understands) the underlying features give advice?
