honestly, the most helpful thing to say to a searching newbie is to say "use the search function!" it's true! and check the meet threads, and this subforum for DAC talk. this reminds me of the US News and World Report on colleges - it ain't the final word, but folks might take it as such. i hope not!

Now compiling lists/links to original sources and impressions might be useful. If I wanted to search for reviews and impressions or even lists, I surely wouldn't want to pull up second hand or hypothetical info based on what they read. Its just added noise. |
