Is there any scope for a separate forum where questions can be posted and the posters don't get dumped on by the 'go ask your accountant' brigade?

There may well be. Perhaps you should ask your accountant.
@Tim Vane just enjoyed a good old belly laugh.. Cheers!
Why?
I'm sure you think otherwise, but people are usually told to ask their accountant because they need to. Answering a question on a technical point for someone that basically knows what they are doing is one thing. Educating someone from scratch (which is what a lot of the people told to see an accountant need) is quite another.
Is there a forum where querists give all the information in the OP without us having to act as dentists to extract it in instalments?
Sometimes a question can be answered quickly but most times they can't - either because they need a long question and answer session with an accountant or a lot more information is needed. I don't mind answering a question if it is possible to be answered but if you even attempt to answer a question which isn't to the questioners satisfaction they respond with abuse or sarcasm. A couple of examples recently: one person simply listed a job description and asked what everything meant and another person wanted to be a self employed bookkeeper but the questions they asked give some people reason to believe there were a lot more gaps in their knowledge.
