@Andviv, I purposely did not offer ideas, that is not my responsibility (and off topic for this particular thread). I am not going to do someone else's due diligence. There are TONS of other articles within this forum alone to "get ideas". I understand that this is a contention for many but lets face it... isn't that part of business Entry?

Interesting perspective.

But....

I don't agree.

Many great threads have started with a specific topic and then the members take it into another direction, which enriches both the original poster and the whole community.

I agree with you though in that it is not your responsibility. But after all, we are then no responsible for anything/anybody else anyway, so if that is the case, why would anybody like to participate in a forum like this?

I do not see offering advice/opinions mean you are taking the responsibility away from the original poster. Had never thought of it from that perspective.
