Capt. Obvious

Lived in LA long enough to be an expert. Chose the name because some questions just deserve a DUH! I regularly copy & paste from my own original answers, because the same questions keep getting asked. If a question is repeated enough, I compose a thorough answer and save it for later. I genuinely like helping people. But consider that the advice you get here is free. If you don't want a little attitude with your answers, then hire a professional (travel agent, realtor, rental agent, etc), and THEY can kiss your butt. If you don't want to be judged, don't post. We are all judged here by the quality (or lack thereof) of what we post, whether question or answer. No whining. If you don't like my answers, cry somewhere else. I call 'em like I see 'em. Sometimes the answer you get isn't what you want to hear, but the truth you NEED to hear. I report spam. Posting the same question twice in the same forum is spam, and makes you a troll.
