However, if you've been paying any serious attention to these
newsgroups, you would see tons of helpful information here.

Curious. Maybe you haven't asked the right questions. Sometimes the
answers are short, because there's no need for a long drawn-out
explanation. Sometimes they are short because the person answering may
be tired. Sometimes they are short because there wasn't enough
information in the original question to give a full well-thought out
answer.

However, if you think that the only responses that are given in these
newsgroups by TeamB (a group of *volunteers* by the way -- i.e., we're
not on the payroll at Inprise for doing this), you haven't been paying
attention to the newsgroups ...
