Personally, I think that if a post, or a poster doesn't get your creative or expansive juices going, then move on ... there will always be another monk, perhaps less jaded of the "FAQ"s, less busy, or desperate to "give back" that will be prepared to pass on their knowledge.

I think it's the combination of a uniquely tolorant attitude and willing "new blood" that make and keep this place bookmarked in so many peoples browsers, and prompts the frequently expansive thanks and praise from recent arrivals.

I wouldn't change a thing, but maybe I'm one of those "stupid monks" who reaches beyond the reasonable bounds of tolorance?
