Guidelines

This is a small room and it works because people behave as though it is.

Be useful or be quiet. There is no obligation to reply, but if you do, add something. "This." is not an answer.

Nothing leaves the room. Do not quote, screenshot or forward anything posted in a members-only space, including to people who are also members but were not in that conversation.

Say what it cost you. Advice with the price attached is worth ten times advice without it. If something worked, say what it took.

No pitching. You may mention what you do when it is relevant. You may not use the directory as a list.

Disagree with the argument. Not with the person, and not by implying they have not thought about it.

Moderators remove posts and, rarely, members. If you think a decision was wrong, write to us and say so — that has changed our minds before.
