Ooooh this is tricky. I'm full of advice. Often unsolicited! But it's information IMO. Information I wish I'd had when I was trying to figure out A or B or C and was going CRAZY researching it once upon a time. So when I hear someone mention something I've already learned tons about, I speak up and say "Hey! I know how to do that! Have you tried this..." - And people can take or leave whatever info I give them. It doesn't matter to me whether or not someone implements information I give them. If someone keeps bemoaning a certain situation or asking for help with the same issue, I might repeat myself once or twice, in case they forgot, but that's about it.
It's kind of like an information booth. Imagine you're a tourist somewhere. You go to the info booth and they tell you all of the information they have, and the great things you can do, and how to get there, and they give you directions, and they might even repeat them a couple of times to make sure you've understood, but they're not going to follow you around for the rest of the day saying "Did you go to the museum? Why not? I TOLD YOU YOU'D LIKE IT!!!! YOU MUST GO TO THE MUSEUM!!!!"
