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.

Ah the old you have only posted 16 post. You don't get it do you? Just because some one has post 20 000 posted on here does n't mean they know what they are talking about. If you don't agree then watch me clock up a thousand by simply posting "Dito" or something else equally as useless. This was the point of my post, if we all just posted information relevant to the original post then it would save us wading through the drivel. What's all this expect a certain quality? I just wanted an eye witness rather than a story teller. I also did n't realise there was a pecking order on here. But now I know.
Lastly the reason I have only 16 post (well done for counting) is because I had nothing useful to add, mainly because I am out there doing it rather than riding a key board.
