Isn't the purpose of this forum to share information, help each other, raise questions and answers, and advance this so-called "dying" field? A huge amount of the questions raised could be directed right to the manufacturer. But by asking the great unwashed(us), we can often get more pertinent information than we can from the mfgr. What is gained by attacking someone asking a question??? Quite the contrary, by raising the question, and having people respond, I get to know something about the situation as well. My knowledge becomes increasingly greater. As is the case for others too. From there, perhaps we all become better at this whole thing.
