Topic Wiki

This is the thread where you can ask any random question you have. Feel free to ask even the most basic questions that you otherwise might be embarrassed to ask. This is the thread for beginners, so veterans here will treat you nicely. Ask a beginner's Q in some other threads and no guarantee of that same treatment. ;)
People here want to help, so just have some patience, follow the tips below and hopefully someone will help you when they have a chance.

If you looking for a particular thread you once saw and can't find it, this is not the place to ask. Check out Help Me Find It and ask there.

How to ask a question in this thread:
Click the blue reply button at the top or bottom of the page, type your question, and click post!

Some helpful tips for eliciting answers from other members:
- Keep your question short and precise. No one wants to read a megillah.
- The more questions you ask in one post, the less likely any will be answered. People are willing to answer a question or two, but if you ask all the questions that apply to your particular issue, you're expecting to be spoonfed. Members don't like holding out the spoon, so ask accordingly.

OK so the serious answer is that for most people, when they post a question about a mileage ticket or about redcard or on any other subject, they want to discuss THAT subject. Not the religious beliefs of everyone participating in the discussion, and when one of the participants keeps shoving it down their throats they tend to get annoyed...

You still didnt answer my question.
But to answer yours BH should be at the head not at the bottom where you put your catch-fraise slogan

Just to clarify, no one has anything against BH per se CH"V. People just get annoyed at any irrelevant information that gets put into a post unnecessarily. For examples run a search for "drop the Sig"..
