Of course, I don't have the knowledge to explain it. I just throw a statement with the hope that it will be picked as a line of thought and I get my head bitten of. It's getting a risk for me to even mention a problem in a field when the developers had not gotten that far in working on this specific case. That's like questions about the .NET. I got my head bitten off and got the answer about 4 months later when the mainstream got to this point.

Then don't. While I understand where you are coming from,
meta-complaining won't solve your computer problems. And that is the
goal of this list. So long as you google your questions first, and
your comments are constructive (not simply "thsi suxorz") then you'll
find even the local gurus will respect you.

I hope.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
