I understand that there are reasons for this, and I also understand that some people also enjoy a bit of cloak and dagger sudoku musing, but this makes it difficult for people who have a genuine interest to be part of the "club" so to speak. It's a bit like being a 1st grader in a high school class.
I don't want to annoy people by posting copious questions. I have tried readng through the different sections to get a handle on it myself and it is not happening.
If you do not have the time or inclination to help me no worries move onto the next post, but if you have a real passion for this site and are a full bottle on it and enjoy sharing your knowledge get in touch so I can start asking you annoying questions like what exactly is a dump, what is the process you go through step by step to do it, what are the pros and cons etc etc.

I have found that as you're ramping up, it's fine to send a private message to an author of a post that you have a question about and I've never had anyone not respond or give a rude response. Some responses take longer than others but people here are very generous and open with their knowledge.
