I have never posted on those forums for that exact reason (attitude) - I just read what’s there, gather my opinions & move on. Generally my visits are more for confirmation purposes (interpreting newer codes etc) rather than something I am totally lost on. Since I am retired I assume I would now fall into the diy’r category there lolMost of the contractor forums do not want DIY'ers around. They pretty much tell you that when you look at their rules and codes of conduct. I suspect it's a liability issue for anyone with a license. They're ok if you just browse and read but few, if any, will answer your questions and most will just be outright rude to a DIY'er ... I even gotten some pretty snotty responses on the Mike Holt forum. So don't feel bad, they're mostly jerks ... unlike us where we are mostly really nice jerks ...
