  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

People have no problem showing off their credit card churns, grammar, how many airports they've been to etc; etc; why would this or should this be any different.

There is nothing wrong with someone feeling good that he finished masechtos. On the contrary there is nothing worse than being am-ha'aretz.

Why barring daf yomi?

Generally a lot of people learning Daf Yomi are not "really" learning the masechto and thus are not "really finishing" the masechto. Obviously this is not true for you  :)

If someone really feels as if they've learnt the masechto, they can most deffinitely post.

Thought it was pretty common.  I guess I'm wrong.

Why does that mean you are wrong? There are quite a few 'common' ones he didn't do as well as a few 'uncommon' ones he did.

 Particularly, in an anonymous forum. I was told that the Chafetz Chiam says that a person who gives should tzedakah should allow people t know he gave so that others will be inspired to give as well.

It's Tshuvos Harashba in fact.
