    What have you learnt from using this site ?
    What new facts, information or other things has this site taught you through researching answers or others posts ?

    For myself I have had an insight into:
    • The Art market with the Paris Etching Society
    • The arcane nature of the US tax system
    • Some interesting Home repair and Plumbing tips
    • Americans will litigate at the drop of a comma

    But I still don't understand Accounting ;)

    Women never seem to know if they are pregnant or not. They always have to ask here.

    And they also can't seem to stay away from married men! ;)

    1. There is an incredible amount of people who need and want emotional support and even more who genuinely want to help.
    2. This is one of the few sites that I have been on where just because you post something it doesn't mean you get lots of spam or emails from people who are trying to take advantage of people. In fact, I haven't received one negative contact since joining.
    3. Most of the people on this site treat people with respect even when they make a mistake, ask a seemingly simple question or something out of the norm.
    4. Men have a REAL hard time with ended relationships.

    Thank you for this site! I am proud to be a member!

    I have learned that a disproportionate amount of people frequently have premature stains or spotting of an unnatural color or consistancy in their unmentionables. I find that quite perplexing and I have started checking my own more than usual, just to be safe, from what, I have not a clue. Although I have found nothing yet, AMHD will be the first to know when I do.

    I have found out that I should have invested in a business that manufactures heating and Air conditioning Thermostats.

    I never knew until I came here how popular Skin Whitening was.

    Funny: Light people want to be darker and dark people want to be lighter.

    What decade would you choose then Scott if you could change it?

    I also agree with Rick. I do not understand why people are not happy with their natural skin colour and want to change it all the time. Never seen that ever before until on this site.

    Oh, another one is how many people do not know how to prevent and use the proper protection for pregnancy.

    Another thing too, I just thought of is how many people come here looking for advice and when they here something they do not like they get very defensive and state they do not want to hear it and get all stomping mad and nasty then leave. Although I got to say it is not a regular occurrence but that is something that baffles me.
