How about recognizing that this is a forum to express and ask whatever you want to. Others on here are then free to respond and give advice if they feel the desire to chime in. If the discussion is about a chick with a runny nose or runny poo or whatever and the over-riding opinion is to take it to a vet....so be it. No harm in asking for advice and help in ANY matter. Geez what is the big deal? Folks ask for help regarding their personal problems too....would you advice them to just go to a psychiatrist rather than "vent" on BYC?
