WOW. If I ever win the lottery I think I'll underwrite a new program
for GA researchers. Every week, a different researcher will have an
opportunity to make $50 (or more, if I win BIG money) by simply
speaking his/her mind on whatever's of interest at the moment. And be
guaranteed a 5-star rating to boot! You spent far more time on this
answer than you were supposed to, but that's your choice, and if it
gave you an excuse to spend a day listening to Grace Jones (love that
groove, not to mention the cheekbones), so be it. I appreciate your
thoughts on the process here, and here's one of mine: after posting
several questions, my biggest frustration with GA is that, like
fishing, I have no idea what kind of fish is going to take my bait.
Or to take the analogy further, if there are even any fish in the pond
that I'd like to catch. I know you're all "expert researchers" but
most questions would seem to benefit from someone with experience in a
specialized research niche, for lack of a better way of putting it.
Despite the high quality of most of the answers I've received, I must
admit I always have a nagging feeling that there might have been
another researcher who would have *hit the nail on the head.* Your
answer has given me some reassurance that if this is the case, there's
a good chance they will go ahead and offer their information as
comments. This is the second time, by the way, that a researcher has
realized an answer wasn't what I was looking for and bailed us out via
comments. Another of my thoughts (and, no, you didn't ask, but now
it's my turn), is that no matter how hard I work on my questions, and
think I've made them crystal clear, it turns out that they were
confusing or easily misunderstood. That has led to frustration for
both me and the researchers. Oh well. I have come away from each of
my questions far ahead of where I started, so am grateful for the
attention I've received, especially on this one, which I hope will
lead to some help for my brother.
