Well, geez, it's not -just- the newbies who are having this response. The folks on this list, for the most part, seem fairly seasoned, and it seems like there are an awful lot of really long threads on how to resolve fairly straightforward tasks (archery, in the latest go-round).
To me, *that's* the big problem with HW - there's just not very much guidance on how to handle common situations, other than, 'go with the flow'
