I should, however, think that an overarching disclaimer, applied to the forum (perhaps in the form of a Sticky thread at the very top of its page), might suffice to safeguard our proverbial behinds. "Any and all information, suggestions or opinions provided on this forum are provided strictly on a non-advice basis and if you make a pig's ear of it, well, it's your own damn fault" might work?

Regarding the current standard, I agree that the information is, on the whole, fairly adequate - where the question has been asked, and answered, heretofore. Where it has not, a thread usually forms, concludes, and then vanishes into the ether. I believe that the concentration of such information, as suggested herein, will not only improve the ease and efficiency with which access to this information can be gained, but encourage still greater improvements in learning and in quality of information available. I'm expecting, to use a clichéd phrase, the whole to be greater than the sum of its parts.

Informedly yours,

Meredydd

Salaams, The question remains ... Would this make a relevant topic to carry forward as a sticky or classic thread... I suggest that it should. Ibrahiim
