ORIGINAL: LadyPact I must have read the OP wrong then. I thought it was his Mistress that was trying to learn something, even though she couldn't bring the question herself. Perhaps she sends him here to do research? I'm not saying it is the ideal, but it is plausible. quote:
I know I'm in the minority here of My way of thinking that the message boards aren't really the most valuable resource in these matters. There isn't going to be nearly the detail as can be found by attending a few demos or events. And while it's great that you feel comfortable at demos and events, they are not for everyone. quote:
Even lacking that, the information that is going to be conveyed on these boards isn't nearly as extensive as what can be found in purchasing a copy of "The Family Jewels". And that is a great response to the OP, letting them know that there is a book they can read. quote:
This is in addition to the hundreds of threads that already exist on the subject and already provide information. And we know from experience that many people don't search. That's a simple reality and I don't let that bother me. Then again, I'm an educator by profession so I tend to let people know that this is available if they want to read more. quote:
Research for educational purposes, in My opinion, isn't just sitting back while folks hand over the answers time and time again. You know this and I know this. Obviously the OP doesn't know this. But this is a message board where people are encouraged to ask questions. There are plenty of threads I don't respond to if I feel I cannot give a productive response. Unless a poster is rude to me first, I don't mock them. In fact, I'm not that impressed with myself when I lower myself to the level of flammer, but I, like everyone here, am not perfect. - LA
