In My Humble Opinion

If the search function(s) allowed it one could search the archives to come up with the definitive answer to this question. But since thread titles don’t always state specifically what the basic issue really is, even the search function(s) might fail to be thorough.

Those who have been around a while probably have a feel for what the most frequently asked questions are, and what issues appear most frequently under various guises.
