@IRonMaN - well, sorta.   DIYers were not allowed (in general) and if one snuck thru they were pounded.  The truly 'smart, knowledgeable' posters could spout the Code on demand, but were usually happy to help those of us that weren't/aren't Code heads.   

And if you didn't bother to search first (the search function was very useable) you got blasted with 

"  USE THE YELLOW BOX !!

@sjrcpa - my first question there wasn't one of my 'best' but I wasn't yelled at; I was relatively gently admonished with "did ya try the yellow box" & then was given direction on finding my answer with the pro's/con's of the various options pointed out.  There were some great teachers/mentors over there.  I am still in contact with some of them; unfortunately several are now using the great calculator in the sky.  

And the one of the most infamous threads there (similar to our Troll party) had to do with Stale-Dated Checks, Girl Scout Cookies, etc - it went on & on & on with a lot of silliness.
