I find AAM extremely useful in general. You can often get extremely detailed and knowledgeable advice on a variety of subjects. However, there are numerous replies to posts which could be classed "stating the bleedin obvious".
e.g.: I got a letter from my bank today which says x y z . Anyone receive anything similar, or do you think it could indicate (?)
reply: Contact your bank and ask them about it.
Or:
I'm looking to get hold of x product.
reply: You could try googling it.
These answers are common throughout the site and don't seem to be given with any ironic intention. They are a waste of the OP's, the respondants and everyone else's time and space.
Can we just assume that people know they could contact their bank or google and in fact the reason they posted their question here was to get real advice or a general interpretation / reaction to their issue.
