Evoir,

Thanks for having the courage to post what you did. Although I haven't posted before, I have spent hours reading these forums and have come to the same conclusion as you. I am impressed by the products this company has produced, LinksSQL in particular, and the responsiveness of the management. But I am disturbed at times by the tone of the forums.

My perception is that the forums are dominated by experienced users, and this intimidates the novices like me. I think the heart of the problem is the lack of solid documentation for LinksSQL. For the price I paid, I would expect a very thick and detailed manual to accompany it.

Using forums for support is wonderful once you have attained a basic understanding of the software and how all the parts fit together. But until that happens, a detailed user manual is a necessity. I have received a partially completed manual from GT for which I am grateful. Unfortunately, it is not very detailed, and I still find that I'm pretty much stumbling around in the dark.

Maybe what we need is a discussion area just for beginners with stupid questions It would have to be frequented by very patient types.

Cheers to all.
