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?

I don’t remember asking a question seeking advice. I can see how asking anonymously might be an advantage if you wanted an unbiased opinion. Our friends, family and loved ones often know us well enough to tell us what we want to hear.
However, I’ve read questions and answers and either tweaked my perspective or gained understanding and I have found a fresh perspective by speaking privately.
