In my world, those of political science and law, research is done in

pretty good knowledge of what the cases are that we're making; plus, we

ignorance, but I neither knew, nor heard anyone suggest, that I had to
go grab information and insight from some webpage, the existence of
which most contributors, at least in my place, are clueless of.

people putting it out have to say about it, before using it?
How would I know to look for something that I would not be sure I had an interest in, let alone know exists?
sorry but this sounds very idiotic
Agreed.
I felt as though I had supplied a clue with my initial answer, to which I got no
followup. It certainly took less effort than 30+ followups about what he could

interest.
There are reasons for running old versions, but but only a few of us have a good
one. I stopped caring after not getting a response, and follow this thread now
for amusement, watching sensible people not only beat a dead horse, but drag the
carcass through the streets.
