You are right in your expectations. However this is where I want to present a different perspective (not from a newbie, but from a forum member's perspective): I often am searching for personal opinions of if A is better than B. A and B could be design choices, products or simply idle questions in my mind. And I prefer posting it here because I am sure it will be answered by people and I shall get to know what people think of A and B.

As I said this does not apply to the newbie questions, but I do plead guilty to the charge of not searching before posting in such cases.
