It IS accessable! And people DO search and find the answers they want that way. Look at the number of members we have! We have thousands of registered members who have never posted anything. Why? Because they register in order to make use of all our wonderful features and information. But they don't actually ask any questions. So it feels like we don't even know they are there.

By comparison...we get a fraction of that number that seem to ask questions without bothering to look for the answer first themselves. And by them doing so...it keeps our forums active and the information constantly fresh.

EVERY member we have is valuable in some way or another!
