Many good observations.
One thing a specialist forum like this promotes - as you say - is theposter’s abiility to ‘ask the right question’...!
A part of this is to use the correct terminology, which may be difficult for first timers, but this doesn’t mean that google is broken - in order to explore the context of your own circumstances.
Most of the experienced responders have a nose for beginners that are lazy, and they will get the lead-on... expecting the OP to contribute to the learning experience.
There are also pompous a**holes that just want to sound superior, as well as meaning twinkies that just had a ‘bad day’ or too many stupid questions!
