Any technical forum is sure to get the people who want a simple answer to a complex question. Those who do not have knowledge of a given subject cannot be expected to understand the depth of skill and technical prowess needed for what they, in their ignorance, think must be a straightforward 'do this, or do that' to put to rights the problem they are asking about.
I do not use the word 'ignorance' in any pejorative sense, by the way, only to indicate that there exists inevitably a sizeable proportion of first-time posters who have no knowledge or understanding of a given technology.

I cannot see any easy way to eliminate or even to minimise this and still remain as friendly and helpful as this forum is. We can hope that in some cases, the enquirer will at the least, learn something he or she did not know before - and of course, we must remain open to all, regardless.
