really Dart, you're making more of a deal about this than at least I think is necessary. Basically it works like Rudy said. Do a search on the topic you want, research that alot, follow the threads (sometimes they can get pretty deep and long and I grant it is sometimes tedious), and if there is something still not quite right about it then you can start a new topic, or resurrect the new topic referencing the fact that this aspect hasn't been addressed or you can PM certain folks where your puzzlement was generated. Everybody has been really helpful to me and I look for what I need first, then dig deeper if I have to, or just merely bring the topic back up for a small point if needed.

But the key is to search the forum first, in depth, and then not ask silly questions that show the research wasn't done. Capische?

But nobody here is setting outlandish rules on who and what can be posted. It's not like a keep outsiders out club at all. This has been one of the best forums I've ever been on. The forum has a great search function, unlike others on the yahoo boards where you can't find squat, then bring up a question and some nail your butt to the wall for not digging thru 1300 messages about where to dine while on the AlCan Hwy.
