I trust you took notes of specific things user were seeking. Lay those
out, here or else where, and see if anyone steps up to answer something
specific. The majority of the audience here (me seriously not included)
is NOT looking for how-tos. Generally given the chance on this list,
members of that majority step in and provide very specific answers to
specific questions (and sometime general notions are addressed as well).
They, that majority, simply don't know what isn't obvious - until it
isn't to someone.
