Ask about Wiltshire, hotel accommodation, business meetings, travel, and open source topics - ask Graham the tutor!
| I visited a web site where I had posted a short article and clicked on the link to "contact the author" - i.e. myself. And I found myself cautioned as follows:
• A response from wellho is not guaranteed. • Please don't ask wellho to do your homework or to plan your travels - ask in the forum for help - Travel Forum • wellho is probably not an expert on the location, just someone who visited. • Please be polite even if you don't agree with things said by wellho
Fair comment for most posters, I guess but talk about putting people off writing!
For the record:
• yes, I do appreciate people who write to me being polite (and with a very few exceptions indeed, people are polite and it really doesn't need saying). •You will get a response from me if you're not a spammer (and if you don't, remind me!) • hey - I would be delighted to make suggestions about what to do in Wiltshire and where to stay •I may not be the greatest expert but I have done a darned site more than visit!
But I do go along with "won't do your homework" ... I'm sure I'll send back encouragement and some links though! |
