why do people that say they don't know still

[boscoebrea]

try to answer questions,wouldn't that be called guessing?Does guessing really help? I guess it if your guess is the right one,I am just guessing because it could be wrong .My guess is the person guessing just wants to be to have the freedom to guess.Why guess,lookit it up...."Just the facts, ma'am"

I wonder what the percentage of guessing is posted here,I am guessing ,I think a lot of guessing,Over the years I know for a fact certain posters do not guess,they are full of facts and experience that can actually help people ,I am guessing most of these posters do not post often because facts take more time and studying than guessing.Then again I admit I may be guessing ,that makes me a hypocrite ,what a relief that was

I guess you're right

So many people post guesses of things they've never held or shot. I think a lot has to do with they saw a YouTube person say it.

you know a lot of time that is all we have is a guess even if we know the gun well and why is that
well, the poster has not made the question answerable not enough info
it is like calling up and machinic and saying i have a noise can you tell me what it is
and you are right with enough guesses one could be right
i think some of us are just plain bored and need something to do and typing i don't know solves that

If I was good at guessing, I would be in Vegas, not here with you.

I actually love reading those posts.

My favorite are the parochial posts. OP posts asking for advice delineating a specific set of parameters, like cost, for an air gun.

The thread then fills with users informing the OP they need to buy the gun the users own. Because their gun is the greatest gun ever built. Just ignoring the stated parameters and never inquiring about the parameters.

Why do people respond to these posts when they don’t have anything to offer?

If you think this is bad go read Amazon. Ask a question there and you could get 30-40 responses declaring they know nothing.

Maybe it is a suggestion for another possibility to check that wasn't listed b4 ?

If my brother asks a question and the person responds “I’m not sure” he says “So you don’t have a f’ing clue right?”

I got sick of being told I'm wrong, seeing the OP take the wrong advice, then come back complaining. That's why I stick to the FT and BR sub forums. Not much guessing going on there.

I like the replies to, "I'd like an airgun under $400," that are, "You should buy an Impact M4."

Some people want to say something
Others have something to say

Exactly, what I call parochial posts.
I have X and to validate my feelings you should buy X.

This is why my typical responses are based on what's good for me and my personal opinion.. I go to great lengths not to tell others what they should do.
