But you chipped in on a thread about double booking and when I asked you to start a thread to put useful info into it, instead of passing judgement on those whose system allowed them to do it, you just said you'd retire out the thread. So I started the thread instead, which produced an incredible amount of interesting insights into people's system.
Don't moan about the content you can't find, instead start threads asking for what you need. There are lots of useful tips around, same as there has always been, but the listing site issue is a massive discussion that can never be covered in one topic. The users also never know when the next tip or workaround might come up, as all the users are on a journey themselves.
If positive thinking is required then why not start the process instead of moaning about others lack of it?
I don’t like how you twist stories around Nemo. (
must be a woman thing)In the original double booking thread, I was criticized heavily for bringing up the fact that it maybe could have been avoided. I saw no problem with discussing that issue within the same thread, in parallel with others offering advice on how to handle the situation. After being told it was inappropriate, I declared I would say no more. Indeed you suggested another thread could be started but I was not willing to stick my neck out once again on the same subject and start one. Hours later you started it yourself and I contributed, seeing that it was perhaps safe to do so.
You would have beaten me to it in any case. I’m not online all day long. I have a full time job, a new baby and a 2 year old, not to mention 2 rentals to deal with. My replies are often made via my phone.
I have not once complained about looking for and not finding information. I said I look for ideas, positive ideas and get tired of reading the same old pointless digs which are of no help to anyone. The last thread was about accepting/rejecting bookings. Was the subject even discussed? Did anyone think why they might do this? What about my suggestion to take advantage of it? Where is the discussion on these topics? OK, I admit I disrupted the thread somewhat but I still think the original subject is worth consideration and that was precisely my point.
I will start a thread on how to make the most of HA/HL but it will take a couple of days to write. It will be long and will draw much criticism from the die hards. It will say nothing that hasn't been said already but may be useful to more open minded newcomers.
