Default Can you hold the punch card up to the light and read it? Me neither!

I think the problem is more that people are automatically sharing their newly acquired downloads and may or may not QA them. I think a well written beginner's user's manual is in order vice having to wade throught the forums trying to find an answer. If you don't know the question then what would you search the forums for? You just operate in the dark.

When I have time I cruise the forums for items of interest. There are some knowledgeable user's out there but I also see user's trying to answer questions when they really don't have the answers. Their answers usually start with, Maybe, It could be, It might be or How about This does little to help a confused user.

I recently e-mailed two poor souls who posted in the wrong forum. Instead of directing them to the correct forum/answer, they were chastised for posting in the wrong forum. Some of these people have lost their humility and forgotten they were new once! They both thanked me for responding and so far are getting along with their quests.

Back to corrupt downloads. I spent several months seeking two files. They were seldom available but when they were, I down loaded them. Always blank. The files appeared more and more often. Always blank. Finally, I acquired both files and inserted (with sound) in the titles. I shared them and my computer started jumping up and down trying to accomodate the uploads.
