I tend to get irritated with the "go join a homebrew club and have them help you" response that seems to be such a default on some boards. I'm fine with encouraging folks to join clubs and seek help from them, but such a reply shouldn't be the only one. I'm on this forum because I don't have time to join a homebrew club, yet I'm at a point were the experience of others is really helpful.
I guess my point is "join a club" shouldn't be the end of the discussion, as it can be on other forums I've seen. I don't get that sort of impression on here.
