Re: Will this forum ever get streamlined?

2005-03-21 by yah_group

I have been reading this group for a couple of years now and have 
been much impressed by the dedication of many of the expert regulars 
who often politely answer seemingly daft and naive questions from 
novices such as myself. More often than not my questions would have 
been answered many times in the past on a monotonously regular basis 
and understandibly the answers given to my questions might be less 
than comprehensive. The only mitigation I have to some of my 
ignorance is that it is difficult to search the site.
One answer might be if that some kind soul who recognises that a 
certain thread has satisfactorily thrashed out an issue, were to 
post a summary in the Files section. Future questioners on that 
topic could then be directed to that file.
As an example of my frustration - I have recently bought IJC/OPM in 
favour of QTR simply because of all the confusion of newbies as to 
what to download, where to find the instructions and how to get an 
overview - these are questions which have been answered many times 
in this group, but I am still none the wiser as I have faied to 
collate all the disjointed snippets which are spread over many many 
posts. On the other hand Louis Dina put some excellent information 
on IJC in the files which was the clincher for me. 
Sorry that I have rambled, but the use of the Files section would be 
beneficial to all I think.
