What's "drivel"? Who determines what's "useful"? Those who respond with what you may interpret as "drivel" or "useless" may have had the best of intentions. No one can truly know what the other person may find useful or not.

It's not like you're paying for a professional service where you're within your rights to expect a certain standard of "quality". These forums are for open discussions and there can potentially be as many different kinds of responses as there are participants. If we all worried about whether what we have to say is useful or drivel no one would post anything.

I try to cultivate a temperament of a world traveller. As such I try to foster within myself patience, understanding, flexibility and compassion. Becoming "irate" at not getting the answer I wanted from a post would run counter to that temperament.

Since you only joined a few months ago and only have 16 posts so far I decided to start reading your posts. I have to honestly say that all the responses would never make me "irate". On the other hand, your responses would make me not want to participate in the thread even if I had just done that Austrian route yesterday.

Leaping into an online community, starting two threads and then telling well meaning posters with links to your route that they shouldn't have responded is generally not conducive to civil discourse.

Have an awesome trip.
