    I recall months back, one poster got a warning for a comment.
    His apology was: oops sorry, i have just come from posting in AH :)

    There are some very common issues in there actually, but only occasionally do we get feedback that something helped, but we do get it.

    Most of the time while its not an issue for a lot of people it is for the OP. so trivial or not, its worth taking a little thought.

    I've posted there twice, both in a thread about football :)

    I would post there more often, but most of the stuff their is relationship related, and I've never actually been in a relationship so wouldn't exactly be much help.

    I read it occasionally as a prurient trawl through other peoples misery. As for the advice given, some of it comes from people who have all the given credibility in that field as Fred West has in the field of patio construction.

    I was re-introduced to boards ages back by someone forwarding me on a link to PI with the words "it's comedy gold" in the header.

    And i think i have to agree.

    I read and post for the laugh. It passes the time when I'm bored in work.

    It never fails to shock and amaze me when you occasionally get the: I'm an adult of 40 odd years of age married for 20. What do you, the locals of an internet site who know nothing about the situation bar the limited information I posted, think I should do about my marriage problems....

    In your case I think you should dump the beatch!

    I read the threads soemtimes offer very limited answers and hastily leave.

    I can see the potential positives of it but I dont really see any reason why I would look there for an answer to any potential personal problems I might have

    I think there are people who post on PI that give excellent advice. I posted an anonymous thread one time about some rough stuff I was going through and the replies made me feel INFINITELY better.

    I give advice on it often enough.

    I don't think any replies are useless or uninformed (apart from the trolling ones). Those who are genuine seem to put a lot of thought and trouble into their answers. Generally, people won't reply unless they know what they're talking about. I'm very selective and careful about the threads on which I post replies. And of course it’s heavily moderated for any inappropriate advice, however well intentioned.

    This mindset of "it's not a real problem, take a look around you, think of the starving children in x country" is crap. If a problem is a problem, then it needs to be looked at in context. It's all relative.

    The idiots who treat it like After Hours can be very trying - someone suggested they just post useless, unfunny crap for the thrill. I'd say some of them don't even bother reading the charter and assume any forum on Boards is fair game. Awful ignorance. It must be so difficult to be a Personal Issues mod.

    You have posted once this year and once last year.

    Seems upon more digging that those threads were moved from AH after I posted, well definitely the condom one and I'm pretty sure that the only reason the other one is locked is because there was too much AH-ness in it before it was moved and it didn't work on the PI board, even though it was a PI.
