Not many people post the solutions on here.

It certainly is for me.

One of the most common problems on any computer related help forum is that once a user has the problem solved, to them their problem is solved, and they simply do not think to post back even that it is solved. I would say that well over half of all discussions just terminate after the last suggestion which may have solved the problem, but one does not know. Then you have some that tried that, but it didn't work but they putzed around with it and got it to work, but don't post back, maybe because they are not sure of what really solved it.

I agree that there is a hard core of knowledgeable and very helpful individuals. One of whom I will call out is mdgm. I simply do not understand how he can spend the time he does on here and his knowledge is broad and deep. Three others who have a broad and deep knowledge, but don't seem to have as much time dbotts67, sphardy and TeknoJnky. We are indeed blessed with the presence of these gentlemen on this forum and their willingness to help others.

I try to help when I can, but on the technical questions I pass on. I am more of a typical user, although I have had a ReadyNAS for years, by training and experience, I am a retired accountant, and more of a power user.
