No because nobody really cares (unless they are extremely nosey) and if they need to whine about it they can always go to some stinkin AOL Chatroom
You seem to have some wild misconceptions about what constitutes being "nosey". Nosey-ness involves making a presence where one is unwelcome or uninvited, or offering an opinion that is not consistent with the inquiry for advice, such as some miserable person posting bitter comments like 'we don't care about your problems and don't want to hear them' in a thread seeking advice about relationships. That would a more tenable example of being 'nosey' than the confused definition you persistently operate under, especially when said miserable and bitter person actually has a choice to read the offending thread or not (but always chooses to anyway).

I don't see why asking advice about relationships is any different than asking advice about matters concerning medical or financial information. If some people are so emotionally retarded and repressed that they are too 'embarrassed' and 'ashamed' to talk about matters of a personal nature, they shouldn't be so resentful and envious of others who aren't. Misery always seems to prefer company....
