I like to think I presented things in a different light which maybe was easier for the individual to understand. I also like to think others may happen upon my minor post and to learn why Q comms are the way they are.

The person was either satisfied with my answer, or left, because they never responded back. It allowed me to flesh out my thoughts and future responses, concerning the subject, as well.
_______________________________________

This same effort at illustrative response can be typed into a FAQ page once, instead of typed over and over every time it is requested. Aside from a concise answer, many other FReeQs (prior) posted answers can be linked so that a person could browse different styles and aspects of answers.

13 months of experience on this thread has shown that frequently the same question is asked over and over by the same person regardless of how many well intentioned FReeQs have already done an excellent job of explaining the answer. This leads to significant thread disruption.

There’s no need for all thread participants to repeatedly read through new explanations to old questions posed by well-intended individuals. Unfortunately, too many genuinely disruptive trolls intersperse insults with their defense that they were “just asking a question” for me to see the value in engaging when prior responses on FR, Twitter, Youtube etc. exist.

In other words, don’t feed the trolls!

Agree. They should just scroll past them, just like we have to do with all the adolescent name calling that goes on here.

And while we're on the subject, I'd like to make a recommendation you take a look at all the other long, arduous, and repetitive posts where a simple link would save the readers fingers much repetitive motion. PM me for specifics.
