37 Research doesn't always make things better. I don't even want to count
38 the number of times I have researched something, found info that doesn't
39 make sense, then ask here and find out it is not anything like that
40 anymore. All the info I found was outdated.
41
42 If I can research something and find info that is recent, then that may
43 help, otherwise, I ask here and get some up to date info from some of
44 the smartest folks there is. Prime example, if I have a problem with my
45 DVD drive, I know there is a person here that will answer my questions
46 and to put it simply, if he doesn't know the answer, we all got
47 problems. Hi Jörg.

49 On the other hand, we have other people on here that are good with
50 servers, networks and various other things. We also have people that
51 explain things in a simple way usually with long posts. Me and Duncan
52 come to mind here but there are others too. Hi Duncan.
53
54 So, Research can be a good thing and a person can learn a lot but it
55 doesn't always answer your questions or answer them the way a persons
56 needs them to be answered. I ran into this recently with my router
57 setup. I read, even followed a howto, didn't work and didn't learn
58 anything either. Folks on here explained it and now I understand it and
59 it works VERY well for me. I don't think any amount of research would
60 have ever got me to where I am in weeks but the folks on here had me
61 running in a day or so plus I understand networks better. I had that
62 light bulb moment. ;-)
