MtnView,
If you spend very much time at all on this site, you will find that it is sometimes not for the faint of heart.
The problem is that there are some who infiltrate the system and are here just to try and "get rich quick" or save a buck or two by doing things themselves verses going to someone who makes their living providing the service they are needing. Rightfully so, this rubs the fur of some the wrong way. But... some have knowledge and seem to have no desire to share that knowledge because they are afraid of what you may do with it.
There's a lot of people on this site that are very knowledgeable and have forgotten more than I will ever know. The majority of them are willing to share information... sometimes as long as they are approached correctly.
I have been given advice and read responses to other people's questions that have saved me both time and money - and for that I am very grateful. I'm sure though that with that gained knowledge and experience I pose absolutely no business threat to a single person on this site.
You'll have haters that will try and punish you for your quest for information. If you're a poser, they will find you, work you over, and be satisfied that they have succeeded when your equipment is auctioned off.
If you're in it for a purpose, this is the place to find the knowledge that you need to succeed. Make your choice.
