Search first please...

Hope I am not being a pain in the ass here, but a recent PM I received compels me to post this rejoinder

Hey Thick
I saw your nice note posted recently about Philippines.
I will be in Cebu and Manila next week.  
What are the best bets for hooking up with LB's in each place?

As many will attest, I am inclined to be as helpful as possible when it comes to suggestions for travel, fun, or love in the Philippines

That said - at the risk of being called cranky (or worse) I would ask that those who seek  assistance please do a bit of work on your own before contacting me

Answers to general queries - such as the above PM - can easily be found with the Search function

Once you have found answers to your basic questions, I will be happy to assist with specifics

With thanks and best regards

[Mr. GRUMPY (Grrr!)]

I agree...

Usually; posts and threads requesting generic help that is easily found are quickly deleted.

But sending PMs is even lazier and helps no one.

Your frustrations are shared by many other great posters who take the trouble to give out information and share their lives with this community.

Well, Thick81, is not it the ransom of success?
I do not know which post the PM talks about, but he says "it is nice".
I hope you replied also by PM, advising him to use the search function rather that just opening a public thread: it is wonderful to have a fan base, don't you think so?...

Anyway, I was about to play, for the fun, the Devil's advocate, but I even can't.

I clicked on the Search button...
Typed as keywords things as simple as "Cebu Manila"
Then "All open Forums"...
Then, "Last year" and "newer"
and well... to my great surprise, there are indeed a few things about Philippines!...

ok. He should have used the search function...
