How to reply to a topic on CrazyEngineers?

To all the new members of CrazyEngineers,

Be it a generic topic or a technical one, when you see a new question asked or a new discussion initiated, write your own thoughts on it.

Refrain from using 'one line' replies.
Eg. "Good one","I agree","That is something", "Thanks for sharing".

^ All that is just spam. It helps none of the readers or writers. Hitting the like button is better at times.

Refrain from adding links to other sites. (unless absolutely necessary as it's beyond the scope of your answer)
If the person has landed on CE, he/she very well knows how to google. You pointing to a link doesn't serve ANY purpose.

You should focus on describing your opinion.

• Think about the topic for a minute.
• Gather your thoughts.
• Google the topic if something is foreign to you.
• See what others have to say about the topic.
• Create a 'paragraph' of your response.
• Write the response in 4-5 sentences just the way you would've conversed with someone.

If you can't write a reply in your own words, just leave it be. Someone else eventually will be there to help.

See the responses by #-Link-Snipped-# #-Link-Snipped-# #-Link-Snipped-# #-Link-Snipped-# (to name a few) and learn from them.

Composing a reply is an art. And CE is your playground to practice it.
