Another WADR. You've posted 3 AR's. Actually 2 as one was a double post. But that's how you learn that newbie posts don't show up immediately; they're vetted before appearing.
Having said that, the 2 AR's were
excellent AR's, well written, informative. But the facts of life are:
1. Posts in the
After Report thread get buried quickly by allowed shop owner bumps.
2. Some keep up with posts. Some actually search the forum for intel, but all too many find it simpler to just post a question about a provider, expecting Step-n-FetchIts to answer. Only a few provide feedback with their experience with the answers.
Myself, International School Graduate. The reason I post AR's is simple:
RECIPROCITY. Returning the help I've received. Myself, I'll only post an AR of a new experience; I don't bother posting repeat visits with regulars. I, and I'd say others, have cut back, due to all too many one-way streets - all questions, no reciprocity, not even feedback with their experience after using the answers. If someone can't be bothered to search, looking to help themselves with info already available, why should I bother? It takes time, money to punt. Add posting AR's, those take time (and I'm not talking about the one-two liners, but actually AR's such as YOU wrote), those take time. When I joined, wasn't looking for any "attaboys". I just introduced myself the way I was taught, establishing some cred.

So, again WADR, if you're looking for a cheering section, why? This is not the place where everyone gets a trophy for showing up. The reward for me is knowing I've contributed, paid some dues. Because while it is a free forum, I feel there are dues to pay.
Finally: yours were excellent AR's. Well done.
