   Hi Wally,   
      
   What a wonderful write up!  I have it tagged to read more slowly   
   and may save it to my keepers file.   
      
   "go search you idiot" crowd astounds me.  "Just google it": the   
   new RTFM (read the freakin' manual).  I have searched   
   for things before and had no luck.  Then asked here, I found   
   I was searching on the wrong terms.  Also, write up   
   on the web are often difficult to understand, but a personal   
   response from someone will remove the fog.  Sometimes   
   I suspect the web write ups are for people who already know   
   what they are doing and just need a quick refresher.   
      
   Technical writing is an art form.  Not everyone has the   
   talent.  I sure struggle with it.   
      
   I also think we are dealing with the "Dunning–Kruger effect"   
   when folks start that "lmgtfy" crap.  Who is forcing them   
   to read any post?  I only pick the posts I think I can help   
   with.  What is stopping them from doing the same?   
   "Dunning–Kruger effect" hits it on the head.   
      
   And by the way, everyone of us had to start at the beginning.   
   Every new project we approach we are beginners.  People   
   at realize this are not affected by the "Dunning–Kruger effect".
