Respectfully - - - - I would disagree.
I am finding when I'm looking for answers that the generalist sites
most often cough up responses - - - - - yes there are responses
- - - but those responses are for software of at best 5 to 6 years
ago and all too often its for software of 15 + years ago. Most often
those 'answers' just aren't applicable anymore. Not saying that
there never are answers but I've gotten to including a 'date' in
my searching and then there are a not less links proffered by the
search engine!
