Have you considered that OP did not have that information in her original post to begin with? She might have edited that in and Cheryl didn't see it. Just sayin'.

All I can say is that you pick the wrong person to mess with... You have no idea how much help "cheryjons" is always providing to this forum.

Is this a case of:

A person can edit a post several times (guilty) and someone who read it earlier comes back to quote the "new" post without reading it again with the added info. It's happened here before. Cheryl said vital info was added. That says it all to me.

And what Ethan quoted above coming from fudgecopper? That says it all about the OP.

Repeat....and this time, I'm taking off the splint on my finger which is broken......."Cheryl" was not very "civil" and should have (re)read whatever she was quoting...HELLO!

I think you guys marginalized someone who is "excited" to move there, and didn't give her the answers she was seeking. No need to have a "pack" mentality and drag down someone......ever.

Hmmm.... I have to admit, I see so many queries that pretty much say "I work downtown - where should I live?" that I pretty much don't get involved at that point. Why? Because there are 187,654,874,970 of them. Boredom finally sets in. I would rather go comment in the In&Out Burger thing.

Here is the real crux - I offered to send her a list of short-term lease apartments (hard to get, BTW) - she immediately jumped all over me like I was trying to sell her a magic potion (did I mention I make no money on this? Thought I should mention again).

I could say really crass things about attorneys - but here is the thing: I know really nice attorneys. That would make me just as bad - so NO.

Did I miss the price and work location the first time around? Maybe - my eyes glaze over at some point. Or maybe I did't. Did I deserve the vitriol?? Hell, no.

Thanks for the support, you guys. I really do appreciate. Call me anytime for tax help or an apartment list - as long as you don't forward to the OP.

I think is the other way around.... The OP could've been more humble and appreciate all the FREE help? And some time the answers someone seeks are not coming right up, so your really need some patience?

I did not say I missed it - I am saying it is possible - still doesn't give the OP an excuse to be hateful.
