This statement seems a little contradictory.. But maybe you mean people doing their own thing without sharing. Not trying to fan the flames but I'd just like to say the more time a person with the knowledge and expertise such as Dervy spends answering questions, the less time he has to contribute new findings. Nothing wrong with reading a few pages to see if your question has already been answered or being given the methodology to find the answer yourself. Experts need time to do experty things after all. Dervy is the face of the franchise, so to speak, but many people here are able to answer questions and provide insight.
