People can certainly request advice, but there are rules to be followed. There is excellent advice to be had here, and it's not unreasonable to expect those seeking it to do so within parameters. Every single forum has a sticky regarding expectations for posting there. Need or desire does not constitute a carte blanche for disregarding the reasonable posting guidelines. If one's need or desire is so great, then I think it would behoove those corrected to learn from the correction, and try again, rather than slink off into an e-corner and sulk (not saying you've done that).
