| This general forum is my favourite, mainly because of the variety of posts. But if I had to pick a favourite type of post, it'd be the ones where you come here, with a real-world problem, for help.
So, what do you think, if you had to pick a favourite, what would it be? | |

| I like the (Help with real world problems).They tend to get you thinking.
The (Help with exam questions) can most of the time just be look up in your book with a little effort.
The last ones are ok but no big deal.

| I have to say that I like the real world problem discissions the best. You never know when someone else might be having the same problem you are or having one you just found a fix for. | |
|
| Everything! No matter what they are, U never know when it will become a real critical situation.
That's why we love Internet. Freedom for all kind of information..

| There's nothing like good old fashioned spam if you ask me. Chain letters rule . . . JK  | |

| Spam running a close last..no votes...despite Randy's confession. Come on, surely some of those people who Spam so frequently must love it!
BTW, you may have spotted I neglected to include Polls in this list. Oops.

GREEN EGGS????? You gotta be kidding! That sounds like something out of Dr. Seuss rather than a bad Terry Jones skit . . . | |

| Honestly, I am a little tired of the "I passed" messages.
I prefer technical on-topic questions and discusions with clear informative topic lines. I am less inclined to read a thread if the topic line is "urgent", "help", "question" and so on. You know them.
The questions could be from real-life, or more fittingly, your lab. Questions from practice tests that you need explained or discussed are also welcome. Even if you do so, please make sure the topic line tells us what this is about. "subnetting", "DHCP" or "RRAS policies" are better topic lines than "questions I need answered before thursday". It would be nice if you create a new thread for each question rather than filling a thread with a lot of unrelated questions.
Also, if you are the one that asks a question, try to explain what you don't understand, and how you think it is. This makes it easier to give spot-on answers.
If you are the one that answers, please don't just inform us of your selected alternative answer ("I think it is B") but bother to explain you reasoning. I am more interested in your reasoning than your actual answer.
I take it for granted that nobody ever posts questions from real exams.
All to seldom I see people bring up problems from their study books. If there is something you don't understand or think is incorrect in you books, let's discuss it!
Personally I try to avoid posting messages which sole contents are "Thank you", "Agree", "me too" and so on. I am gratefull for all answers given to my questions, but I don't post the "thank you" unless I have a follow-up post. I do this not because I am ungratefull, but because I do not want to litter the conferences.
If a thread is about a real-life (or lab) problem and there have been suggestions for how to solve the problem, a post that tells us about the outcome is most welcome. Did it work? Why not? Remember, we are here to learn!
Forums can be a great place to learn. They can also be big time buckets that I cannot afford to use. It's the participants and the posts that make the difference.
Good luck with your studies everybody! See you in the other forums!

| I enjoy the helps...A lot of times, myself for example, just starting out in the IT field..and need information on different areas. So the ones with experience behind them have alot to offer as for as information and advice goes, to us that really need it..but all in all I enjoy all of it... | |

Gongratulations! | |

This is good if its general. Other members from around the world can join in and relate. When it's orientated to a member's country, only members from that same country can comment. Us foreigners feel left out.

We all need a chuckle. The crazier, the more fun. Breaks from the real world, I heartily encourage. |
