I understand the desire to exaggerate when relating frustrating experiences - so that we can more accurately understand what actually turned you off to Grockit, can you describe why you decided to say "20 minutes", when in fact, the longest you'd spend on any question on Grockit currently, and has only ever been, 4 minutes? Regarding participants - one of a number of effective learning techniques is to put yourself in the position of having to teach others. Considering your experience, and your assessment of those who you shared your experience with, would you be able to make any suggestions about how we might have been able to help you take advantage of an opportunity to teach? Finally, are the two nearly identical posts - aside from the author and a few other words, done five minutes apart - relevant to your experience at Grockit? @AK & @bsharaz: Thanks for the praise and mention of Grockit.

I understand the desire to exaggerate when relating frustrating experiences – so that we can more accurately understand what actually turned you off to Grockit, can you describe why you decided to say “20 minutes”, when in fact, the longest you’d spend on any question on Grockit currently, and has only ever been, 4 minutes?
