Should I feel guilty?

I've joined the ranks of the genealogically addicted. Every time I come to the message boards I feel guilty if someone hasn't got an answer so I end up replying just with my best shot, which is not usually very good. Should I continue to do this -stop visiting or stop feeling guilty and sorry for people.......... Sylvie

Sylvie, Considering you have just helped me, and I am very pleased you did, carry on as you are. Know exactly what you mean I am the same, but won't be around for a few days off to Italy,no not to research, pure holiday, but bet when I get back will be straight back to searching. Lynda

Don't be silly, what you think is useless info may be just what the person needs to break that brick wall. When I put a question on tips I read all answer because everyone looks at things differently, and sometimes thats all that is needed a fresh pair of eyes shelli

Sylvie I can only echo the sentiments of the others - never feel afraid to offer help, a fresh approach is always helpful, no matter how obvious it may seem to you. Keep up the good work, and thanks for trying to help where you can - I'm sure there will come a time when you help me out too! Regards Maxine

Even if you dont have an answer at the time...you may have come up against the same brick walls and sharing your sympathies makes me feel better anyway,!! At least I know im in good company when I cant find an answer,
