Reply to comment by Ill-ConceivedVenture in Hoping I Can Get Your Help! by spydersweb51

Yes, ty. I was having a hard time with it. Forgot how cut-throat Reddit/ers are towards people - disabilities or not.

Your disability prevents you from searching, but not typing up a list?

Hi. I couldn't find a bunch of the things I was looking for in the search, so I took the list I had been working on for the last 6 months and put a bunch of it here in the hope some people were decent humans. There seems to be a few who have been helpful, so I'm thankful for them.

It's unfortunate how narrow and judgmental some people can be but I get it and try to use it as a reminder to apologize when I do the same. I'll keep this up a little longer in case a few more decent people come along, then ill take the suggestions and be on my way.

Thank you

I had been planning to help you but, really, the vitriol is unnecessary and made me feel sad.

I get that and apologize. I was feeling that vitriol from others from the moment I posted was unnecessary. I became defensive and thus part of the problem. Thank you for that reminder. Gonna go updoot everyone, even the grumpies. I don't know them and have no idea about their issues etc. As they don't know me and mine. Truly, thank you.

It's not that we are grumpy, it's that some of these have been answered super thoroughly and doing the searches will net you all the super duper in depth answers too. Use Google to search the sub if the search here is not helping. There is some seriously good info you will otherwise miss, especially with a list this long.

Hi and thank you. I have done a lot of searching/research and it has helped a lot. For example, I was able to narrow down a robo-vac through google/BIFL, etc. Things I could not find or had the potential to be outdated or found a lot of conflicting/confusing answers to, I tried to compile from a list already on the go and memory. That said, I get your frustration. I hope you can get why I perceive some of the replies as grumpy.

Take care

Wasn't trying to be cutthroat. Was just asking if you'd searched, as many of these have been discussed at length.

Cheers.

Hi. I wish to apologize. I jumped on the defensive even with questions like yours, that have no I’ll intent.

I have done a good chunk of searching/research. I was able to find a lot but with the stuff that was on the list I either didn’t find much, found conflicting info, or was worried the info was outdated (meaning the quality of a company has recently ranked). Hope that makes sense.
