as a recent internet "researcher" trying to solve my issue I know exactly what you are saying. Very frustrating reading through a couple of pages of posts thinking you might be reading about a solution and then it stops. I came across this over and over again. That's not to say I didn't pick up valuable information on the way.
I fully intend on concluding my recent thread once I finally decide on my setup, have it delivered, get it installed, have it up and running. I'm probably 2 weeks away from that.
If it all goes well, the thread should provide some valuable advice for others due to the quality of the responses to the thread that have brought up all kinds of questions with great answers.
Then again the subjects and problems discussed here can be quite complex, individualized, and circumstantial. It's also many times a crap shoot and other times the same problem can be solved different ways. You never know why people don't follow up to let you know how they made out but some people are givers and others are just takers,,, right? Either way this forum is a wonderful resource.
