"Just keep things simple and generic..."
"Just keep things simple and generic" was the advice a friend in a distant city recently offered regarding my return from vacation to the RHP Chess Site and Public Forums. Still wondering exactly what the advice meant in context and if it's sound. Doesn't it unintentionally bury a veiled high brow insult to the above average intelligence and mature sensibilities of a large percentage of veteran posting members between the lines? Would appreciate your objective viewpoint, strong opinions and casual comments on her well intentioned advice. Thanks.

Do you often doubt your friend's advice? Are they truly friends if they offer you bad advice? Why would a friend offer you bad advice?"

Should someone alert your infraction?
