[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1794117, member: 29632"] I like to ask a question and have it answered. Usually happens, sometimes it doesn't. I also like for the people answering to actually know what they are talking about and not just vomiting some crap they read in a forum. I do appreciate when somebody provides a link to a discussion that was already had that provides an answer but I get annoyed when it leaves me just as ignorant as I was before reading it. The online only experts make it very difficult to sift through the manure because they speak with such authority and it's hard to know if they're speaking from 40 yrs of experience doing things the right way, or just parroting what they heard elsewhere. I typically assign a much higher value to a published book, than an online article, and that takes precedence over an opinion on a forum unless I've spent years learning from the person posting and know they aren't full of crap. I very much appreciate when folks admit they don't have a lot of experience but want to pass along a little piece of knowledge they have learned in the short time they've been gaining that experience. Everybody has to start somewhere trying to be helpful... [/QUOTE]
