This idea was presented several weeks ago, and I think it has merit to be included on this site.

What this is for is to offer a clearing house type forum where members can come here and post their HELP WANTED looking for advice or outright hands on help with something that is outside their own expertise. Members are also welcome to post the types of expertise and hands on help they would be willing to offer other members as well. This does not necessarily mean to help for FREE, as if you are in a particular business and are offering services for hire, then that is perfectly acceptable here as well.

In cases where actual hands-on help is needed or offered, it may be a good idea to mention the locality you are in. And if you are offering services and such for pay, then you may want to include what you charge for these services as well.

This is certainly going to be rough around the edges, so please bear with us. Hopefully it will evolve into something that will wind up being helpful to all of us eventually.

Just so this thread doesn't wind up with a lot of those offerings, it will be locked. Please try to use a separate NEW thread for each request for help, or an offering of services, trying to make the topic line as informational as possible.

Thanks....
