I honestly dont think I got "beat in" when i joined. I did do a lot of reading. Go to my profile and theres a link you can click on to see what or how many threads were started by that person and only have 46 (
LINK). And almost all of those are information threads and not Qs. I just spend a lot of time on the PC at work and at home and I do a lot of reading. Im fortunate that I have been with computers for many years and can find pretty much anything I am looking for. In other words, I know how to navigate and search. But not everyone is like that or as motivated. But with 46 threads and almost 2900 posts, its obvious I like to share. I do understand how it is to be lost when starting something new and not really knowing where to look or even what to look for.
