I hate to disagree, but when you post your question in this manner, yes people can start getting hostile. When you say "why aren't they answering any questions?? '' --
it sounds very demanding.
I'm one of the ones who looked at your questions. Yes, you did attempt to answer them. In that case, it's not because we aren't here to answer your homework for you. (Someone who answered that may not have looked at your actual posts, but just answered that generically. No, we're not here to just do someone's homework for them, and we get a lot of questions with no attempts to do the work. So it's easy to answer that way.) But I saw your posts so I know that you did say what you thought the answers were.
I have to say you expect too much. You're too impatient in wanting answers too quickly. And just because there are some "experts" here, it doesn't mean we're getting paid to do this. We are here voluntarily, whenever we have time, of our own free choice... you cannot expect people in that situation to bow to your every beck and call. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but that sounds like what you expect if you're that upset that no one has answered yet.
Did it ever occur to you that the people who looked at your questions don't know the answer?
Apparently not. Even though we're volunteers, it appears you think that ANY question you ask on here WILL get answered within a short period, because we have unlimited people, with unlimited resources, with an unlimited amount of time to devote.
I personally did not answer because I was not comfortable with the questions and didn't want to give wrong answers. (Next time I'll just answer wrong, would that be OK?) I don't see a reason why something being rented should be handled any differently than any other asset, but I wanted to look it up first
if I found the time to make sure I
didn't answer you incorrectly.. As for the one about the tax depreciation, I'd definitely have to look that up. I'm not a tax expert. And again,
if I found the time.
We get a pretty big variety of questions on a homework forum that includes all different areas of both accounting and finance. I doubt there's one person here who knows all of it. (I sure don't.) And there are always questions that never get answered for one reason or another, possibly because maybe no one knows the answers.
Let's turn this around. Let's say you're a plumber and you've offered to do work for your brother for free. Would you appreciate it if you brother called and left a message that he needed a pipe cleared out, and then was bugging you 2 hours later because you hadn't gotten to it yet, even though you were doing it voluntarily and even though you actually have a real life outside of doing plumbing?
Your attitude makes me not really care much whether I ever look up your questions or not. It's a whole heck of a lot nicer when people appreciate that we're volunteering our time to do what we can.
Have I made myself succinctly clear enough?
