This may be true but when some subscribe to this list, witness the warm
community atmosphere, and the prompt answering of questions, they feel
tempted to ask questions here instead of *always* first going through
the help file or the FAQ's. Afterall, if you shoot a question of
clarification at the help file it doesn't respond.
JD> TB! and it's help file is not at fault it's just faulty users.
I beg to disagree here. A lot of TB!'s help consists of overviews. Only
the experienced and those like myself who take long periods of time
experimenting, going through long periods of trial and error will learn.
A more detailed help would go a long way here. TB! 's help is not the
only one that I have used or read and I really have to disagree.

You're exaggerating here Jamie, for effect, I suppose but the help could
really be more detailed in areas.
