I think if you have the insight to realise that help etc is necessary then you probably have the insight to realise that a lot of people are not ready or cannot bring themselves to ask for help. As Ive said in previous threads, I personally think that a lot of time, with the threads where people are asking pretty simple things that they know the answer to, its not so much that they dont know its that people need it reaffirmed by other people.
It doesnt annoy me as such, I think common sense is sometimes a little bit lacking on RYL but I also know that mental illness can sometimes affect your ability to think about the best way to deal with things.
But then I could say the same sort of thing ie actions=consequences, I cant tell you the number of time people have done something wrong and then gone ballistic when they get told off for it...its just the way things are. I think that RYL is a lot easier to handle for me personally if I remember that a lot of people on this site are younger than me and so possibly dont have the same maturity level. (thats not me saying im more mature than everyone younger than me, or that 15/16 year olds etc cant be mature)
I dont know, I tend to let these things go.

	There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you. But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself. I aint no abacus but you can count on me.
