Bad form.
You want to learn something here? Don't be afraid to ask. Just ASK. This isn't the place to play Conrad Dobler. You could just as easily have said "Hey, folks; I'm not up to speed on this, and I keep hearing "xxxxxxx" in the media. What's the real story? Any backgrounder, links, etc. available that anyone cares to offer?" That would have served your purpose far better than creating an unnecessarily heated environment here on the Forum.
I have tried to get information using your suggestions before but usually get nothing in response. Or some "search these topics" replys.
Bad form, perhaps. And I have actually decided to not do it anymore because it made me feel weird and probably degraded my credibility in future threads.
Formal appology...Sorry.
