Time's definitely an issue for all of us, there's no question about that, Frazzled! And kids especially can command a good portion of that time, but it's always worth it.
We're glad you're here and always are glad to see your posts, no matter when you get a chance to see them.
As for the product pushes, yes... please do report them, but also try to keep in mind that some people do feel strongly about their favorite products. What could be perceived as pushing might just be passion.
I really love to see all ideas from everyone and the honest to goodness opinions about products you have tried. Maybe I am wrong here but this is the first site I have been to that isnt trying to push their own products and allow us to have an open discussion about other brands. I just wish I could find more time to come here; kids have been keeping me pretty busy.
All of the things you noted that you enjoy about this site are exactly what this site is intended for. I am SO glad you are enjoying it!
As to the product pushes, they are not allowed here. Yes, one can site a product that they use and have positive results with, and even recommend a brand, but to sell a product isn't allowed, and to push certain brands is discouraged.
When you see this happening, help us by hitting the report button. This will bring the offending post to our immediate attention so that we can remove it quickly.
Thanks again for all of the comments! You can always bring any issues to our attention, good or bad. Your contributions are terrific, and appreciated.
Just have to get this off my chest. I joined this site to get advice and for the most part I am enjoying it. What I find REALLY ANNOYING is people trying to push a product they sell or use this site as free advertising. I hate going to a topic and thinking I am going to learn something and it's all about the product they are selling.
It is great that we can share what products we have found that works and maybe will work for others and thats what it should be about, not about selling something.
