Anyone else slightly concerned about copied and pasted Malwarebytes posts?

I completely see where your all coming from. Im just asking if my own personal way is seen as.......unacceptable?

Personally I find your approach very user friendly, above proffessional, indeed you seem the type of person were I to struggle with techie jargon, would happily spend the time breaking it down to a moe easier understandable level.

My hat goes off to you

A brave post!

Well done for sticking your head above the parapet, with the associated risks.

There are a few people on here whose advice I always read and try to digest.

Then there are the others who seem to present the same copy/paste solution to every problem, even if it's an apparent hardware problem.

"Well we need to see what's running on your system"

The latter are appearing as experts, due to the polished copy/paste reply, especially
to poor non-techies who've wandered over for a bit of advice.

The thing is,the second group just don't know, but like to shine in the reflected glory of the true experts.
The test is when a follow up question is asked, standard reply is "your antivirus/firewall is carp replace it with xxxx (this weeks favourite)"

Many times I could perhaps pass myself off as an expert by the copy/paste method, but chose not to, perhaps it's me, I'm just not comfortable with pretending to be something I'm not.

I wouldn't be interested whether the advice was copied\pasted or the advice given was from someone trying to shine as experts; so long as the advice given worked successfully entitling them to a little "glorification".

I'd be less interested in a post from someone "claiming" to be an expert, and accusing other posters of merely "copying and pasting" the advice they were going to tell me anyway.

If the end result is the best answer.......who cares who said it?
