Patti,
We all have needed help at some time or another and expect you have too. This site offers the "Urgent-Help Needed" forum so if you are ****** off because someone doesn't know how to navigate the site then stay off the site yourself as this "problem of yours" will continue.
I want to thank everyone who has helped me in an "urgent" situation as I will do the same if I can help. This is the main reason I come to this site is "knowledge"!!! Not companionship!!!
Patti, go find some work to do because your lame whining has to go!!!

Oh...so you get what you want then kick us to the curb? Ouch!!
Dane,
I feel your pain and I sense that you need help right now. Though Patti's comments may seem a bit harsh to you, she does make a reasonable argument. In fact, she is , in a round about way, teaching the reader to "navigate" toward the "search" function on this forum, so that they may find the answers to their questions. Many times an answer will be found. Many times the search for answers results in more questions.

Like it or not, this IS a community here, and if you come charging in telling people how they should be, it's not going to go over well. Many people have been on this forum for years, and people here support each other. I had the privilege of meeting some of them when I crossed the country - people I'd never met before opened up their homes to me for a night or two just because they knew me from this forum.
This is a great bunch of people, worth getting to know. If you can't be bothered with that, and just want service, you can't blame them for getting ticked off when a newb shows up with attitude. It's kinda like party crashing.

I read the first page and the last page of this thread, I don't have time to read it all. I will give you the forum's official position about asking questions.
First of all this is an informal internet forum. It is for people to exchange ideas on a friendly basis. Everyone is here because they registered and agreed with our rules at http://appraisersforum.com/rules.htm at registration time.
No question is stupid. If you need an answer to a quuestion, please ask it! If you don't want to answer a basic question, or can not answer it without being sarcastic, then please refrain from answering it. There are plenty of people who will answer questions without being sarcastic, or attacking the person for asking it. For goodness sake, there is nothing worse than saying "you should know that", "where's your mentor, why didn't you ask her", or things like that.
Again, this is an INFORMAL forum. Same as if you were mixing with a group of appraisers after a meeting and talking informally. Do you critique their grammer, criticize them for their questions and comments at such a gathering? I think not. Nothing is here that you will be tested or graded on, or at least you shouldn't be anyway.
But people don't always follow the above guidelines or our rules so we have procedures in place to deal with them. If you feel that you are attacked within a post use the "report post" icon within the post where you were attacked and a moderator will deal with it.
The above philosophy has always been our position since we began this forum in 1998. It has not and will not change. I know a lot of things violate our rules that don't get dealt with, but that is because the POST IS NOT REPORTED! No way the Mods can read through the 600-800 new posts we get every day.
So how the forum goes is up to the users, if you don't report offenses, then they are likely to continue. The mods will deal with them when they catch them in their normal reading of posts, but most posts will go unread by a mod due to the volume of posts.

Triple sheesh
Umm. let me go back to the original post.
Why, with so much info available on the internet would people post here?
Well, because this forum is a part of that internet you are referring to.
and in case you haven't noticed..when you Google most of these appraisal related questions on the internet....SURPRISE!! It references you back to this site.
And for every internet search you pull, you get about 1.7 zillion sites, some of which want you to pay for the info, or join some arcane trade group before you can access their library, etc...
This forum is the internet in microcosm. I just happen to think it is easier to wade through the 15 or so grumpy old f@rts on this site than the 15 million red herrings on the net in general.

Not all the questions get asked on this forum. I get at least a half dozen calls a week, also about the same e-mails, asking questions. I always try to give an answer or direct the person to a source. I don't mind. I get calls and e-mails from all over the USA. I even get some from other country's. I did not start out knowing everthing I know now. I still have many things to learn.
While I do not disagree with Patti, and others, on the fact that many answers are at the finger tips of folks who find this forum, it is often difficult to read through many links, web sites, and other sources. So, I will keep on helping where I can. You can always e-mail me at CDonClark@cavtel.net
BTW TC, salt has Grains, not Granes:new_llying:
