Now there will be many who disagree with us in the open forum, but when ever I say something about this being a brother hood of sweet little mother fuckers, and not a mother hood of brother fuckers, I always get private messages thanking me for saying something about it. There are those who agree with us, but don't want to get involved in the rile that ensues from making their opinions public.
Just my 20 pesos L A T.
I think the problem is that it often takes a lot more than just 1 or 2 lines to answer the questions from newbies. So I'm with Westy here.
I don't mind to answer 1 or 2 short questions every now and then but you have to draw the line somewhere. Otherwise we find ourselves answering the same questions over and over again.

Snitsch could try Tawi Tawi lost of white sand and quiet plus direct flights also? Yes?
Sniitsch. Given that this board has so much information and a tonne of stuff about your question a RTFF would be better, can't believe you asked it when there has been much discussion on the place.
Westie. Again I agree with your post (I hope this is not becoming the norm LOL).
For those who font like people replying with RTFF or some humorous / barber comment visit the India board, read the banners as that is a prime example. Also go to UAE board that is slowly becoming like the India. With many seniors lamenting old days.
LAT. Good FR but generally IMHO the newbs, 1-4 FRs guy never write a follow up FR they are takers not givers (again I refer to the India and UAE boards where this promise is made regularly but is never kept).

Come on. No need to be insulting and vent your bile here.
So what. I wouldn't begrudge a person's request for information. The time you spent researching this member's post history maybe would have been better spent finding a way to answer his question. I know that if I had the information he needed, I would have given it to him rather than scolding him. In your estimation, how would the collegiality of this forum been better served; (A) by politely answering the inquiry; (B) ignoring the post altogether because it was jerking my chain; (C) berating the poster?
It's not your call to make. A lot of guys patrol the forum look for peccadilloes (like the way you spelled paltry) and then pounce on fellow members. You don't need to do that.
BTW I think I remember reading and seeing a number of your pics in the photo section. I really enjoyed them. I am planning a trip to CDO some time and will look for your posts during my preparation.

Brave words
Hello again,
I'm a little surprised asking a question could cause such venom.
I have tried goggling the question but I'd preferred an answer from someone with boots on the ground.

Regarding me previous post. We don't want newbs asking routine / general questions on the board for a reason. They are (almost) always takers, not givers. They ask questions, get answers, and we never hear back from them. The Original Poster is one of those: 3 posts in 9 years, none of them descriptive FR's. If you want to promote this behavior, respond to him on the open board.

Buko Max. Nice reply.
Steve88 - you have 3 FRs tow are the same question the alst being in 2006 asking airlines to Gambia (are a serious monger really?
Google will answer all you need to know also spend some time RTFFing and you find a wealth of information.
Westie. Good reply, as I agree too many newbs ask question without RTFF. Look at India and the slowly declining UAE board that as once excellent for the reasons why Westie replies as he did (and gets support).

Of course its my call (as its yours to speak your mind). The OP is a phils newb. His, and other such newbs should not clutter the board with routine questions. "Where can I find a good hotel in Manila" is not the kind of thing I want to see here. If you haven't posted any detailed FR's here on the phils board, hit me (and other board regulars) in PM with your questions. This is not the Columbia or DR thread.

Apology if this is offensive. I originally typed a solid reply about ST places in CDO/s Divisoria area for you. However I then looked at your paultry 3 previous posts, which just ask questions (your first post was 9 years ago). You have not provided a single, solid descriptive Field Report. You (and other newbs) should: Go to philippines and provide a FR or two before asking questions on the open board. Feel free to PM me your questions and I will answer your questions as best I can.

For a place that I didn't think had much, PP was pretty good. And, I know some people are going to hate me for this, but I like all the Koreans coming in because it means that places like Saralai have beautiful women waiting for you. I think I need to try more KTVs in PI.
