Have you ever asked a serious question here on the SW Q&A and then actually taken the advice you recieved? What was it and how did that go?

If you seriously want to take a advice for your real life issues. I think you should explain the scenario very well. A story might be a better option, and for a sincere advice it would require a separate communication thread if they really want to understand the circumstances and give a sensible advice.

I used it through PM with the person/friend on EP which I found a sensible and competent to give a right advice. And it helped me in taking decision.
