And how many threads did you try to read in their entirety before giving up?
FT is like a foreign language, no more and no less. There is a certain amount of time and effort required to learn it. There is grammer, there is vocab, there are rules, and exceptions, etc. When you initially read something, maybe only a little makes, but the longer you read it, moer of it makes sense and less of it doesn't make sense.
Would you seriously expect to understand a foreign language without doing any work whatsoever?
