If YOU don't know, and refuse to take the suggested courses, then you
can buy books and magazines and read them in YOUR spare time like I
did.

Within the limits of my modest resources, I do.

Fortunately, I did not have a simulator I might pretend as real
to take their place, then think to rudely harass someone, or a bunch
of someones (how pompous!) on the internet for free instruction.

Odd that anyone would see questions as harassment. The only time I
encounter that is when people don't know the answers to the questions,
and dread anyone else finding that out.

There are some excellent authors, both book and magazine, who are
quite public and not expensive. AND there are some excellent web
sites which also have good info and make an effort to not be so dry.

I do research.

But written materials can be held in hand and pondered at your own
pace. The web is too brief, and cluttered; as is this news group, for
that matter.

The Web, however, is free.
