Bitcointalk is mostly just dribble by ad campaigners,
the user base here is poor really
and most replies are just dribble, not helping at all
i do wish all threads were self moderated so the OP could just delete all the dribble replies
i just locked a thread i started (forgot to self moderate)
it had like 9 pages of replies, and not 1 reply actually addressed the question in the thread
all replies were just dribble,
even when you state in post about only serious replies
or ask for replies only from people in the situation to answer the question
i had question that only applied to people with 100+ BTC, but all i got was replies "if i had" "i dont have" blah blah blah, just dribble
bitcointalk is 90% dribble, its a shame the sites admin or mods dont try to sort this,
but as they allow signature ad campaigns there will always be 90% dribble here
and if they did address the issue they would likely lose a lot of traffic to their site which they wont want to do.
