My only defence for giving wrong advice on occasion is that my age is scrambling memories to the extent that I sometimes offer things that I thought I knew but had somehow mixed up with other concepts. I want to help new users so I am reluctant to say nothing if no one else is responding to them. But if I say something I can rely on other forumites correcting me, expanding the info I provided, or even agreeing with me sometimes!
As for research, my mind used to be organized and could plow through a lot of data to find nuggets, but now I have trouble concentrating enough to read a paragraph longer than four or five lines - my eyes lose track of where I was reading. So, yes, I have gotten lazy about trying to extract info from crowded data.
When I get a decent sleep and have a refreshed mind, I try.
Don't apologize for your even-handed and thoughtful responses to helping others on this forum, BBfanboy. While you may not be in a position to write a thousand grandiloquent words on how busy you are, your efforts to help noobs and experienced players alike has not gone unnoticed. For myself, I think timely, friendly and (mostly) accurate advice to be more helpful than imperious and invective-laced exhortations to RTFM.
