I don't understand why, when you read a question that you can't be bothered to answer because it's "below you", you don't just ignore it. There are plenty of us who are prepared to give answers to simple questions.

It defies belief that you spend half your life having a pop at people for allegedly making stupid posts on internet fora when you spend the other half posting stupid/incorrect replies yourself.

You regularly have a pop at people for not reading the first-timer guides properly but this week you spent two days and 11 posts, reiterating the same incorrect point as fact 6 times, arguing about a simple point which you could have clarified by reading your beloved PCG guidance, your own tax return, P11D or PAYE coding notice.

Your erroneous posts are far more dangerous than someone posting a simple question because, for some reason which is a mystery to me, people seem to trust what you post. You therefore have a duty of care not to just post stuff as fact without checking it first.

I have a simple rule. If I know the answer, I might choose to post a response. If I don't know the answer, I either don't post a response or I go and research the answer.
