Maybe many do as I do, which is to head straight for the info about which I know the least, or which holds the greatest interest to me. Usually, that's the string forum (big surprise). I increasingly do the same at TBDB..... basses, strings, maybe jazz technique, and then I'm out. And since I'm such an opinionated, grizzled old veteran of the trenches , I tend to respond to threads rather than start them.
