Fair enough Tim, and no I'm not related - I have an e where he had an a. To progress your analogy a little, it isn't A's job to help B shortcut his research just because A has taken the time to investigate and/or research the finer points. Just because B hasn't the time, doesn't mean that A doesn't know/understand more than B. Furthermore, A will feel insulted when B claims A can't know/understand something B doesn't know/understand. A may not be the best of communicators and/or educators or A, having spent many hours reading up on the subject, may feel reluctant to then have to 'spell out' in layman terms to B what he has spent hours researching. In other words I'm not saying anyone HAS to do the leg work, but I am saying that if you want to understand what is going on then you really ought to do the leg work yourself and not expect others to do it for you. If you don't want to understand and you want to bury your head in the proverbial sand, then fine, that is your choice. I just take umbrage with those who can't be bothered to look anything up and yet claim that they know more than those who can be bothered.
