>>12050398Yeah, I think you're right in a lot of ways about needing to just do the research myself.
I would ideally like to be able to use the expertise of others, but they are generally not forthcoming with it.
I have multiple documents full of questions to seek answers to, and my thought in asking questions is to put them out into the world, in the hope that, like dandelion seeds, they might catch somewhere.
This has only been my experience in a limited way. But enough to keep me partially invested in that way of doing things.
I think I also like the communal aspect, even if I often find the people who claim knowledge (or even have some knowledge) to be impossible.
I will probably pursue parallel strategies of posting the questions but also saving them for myself.
