One more thing: Marcia kind of disqualified the one who merely shows a link. But for the one who asks for a solution, a link is oftentimes worth more than a repeated start of a lesson, because the link normally directs to a thread that has already been finished and completed, contains more views of more experts, and is recognized by many as the solution to the problem.

What we'll probably see more and more in the future, are links rather than new technical advices. This is because VFPs lifecycle is at its end, they say.

I can think of a couple... and actually, as long as the community benefits, I see nothing wrong with that.
