Personal service?
The idea of a forum is for a community of people to be able to exchange information or ideas among themselves. That being so, it’s remarkable how many people join up and immediately start sending private messages requesting personal attention for their problems. Yet often the problems they’re posting about are trivial, have already been answered or aren’t likely to be embarrassing for anyone involved.
If you’ve got a question or problem that other people might also have in the future, don’t be shy – post publicly, unless it’s a problem of a personal nature that would cause you or others genuine distress if it became public. That way, everyone can benefit from the shared knowledge and experience.
