I also think there are circumstances where a pm is appropriate but I really appreciate how difficult this must be for Jim who, always the a gentleman, helps everybody out.
I regularly direct people to his guides and, if Jim agrees, I will from now on always add a little bit at the end........Please do not private message Jim.........as his post will soon work it's way down the pages and for all intents and purposes disappear into the ether.

Thank you Cheryl. I obviously don't mind messages from friends who just want to chat.
I also don't normally mind messages from people who want to give me private information like income details, provided that they've first asked me if I have time to look at, e.g. their tax liability.
I do, as I said, object to people trying to take advantage of my good nature by asking questions they could ask on the open forum.

Jim, may I say that perhaps it is because you show patience when replying to those who request information while some others exhibit a propensity for a lack of understanding when people ask the same questions time after time. It may be that you have become a victim of your extremely helpful nature. I accept that sometimes (very rarely) you show exasperation, but on the whole (vis a vis your immense output) you display a caring and helpful persona. I have never asked a question but truly appreciate the immense amount of help you provide on this forum.

Thank you Jim, and vice versa.
