For some odd reason I seem to have questions that are lightly or not covered by the documentation.
*DEFINITELY* Part of the solution would be to encourage/ALLOW technologically oriented Jr. and Sr. High students to write about technology. It wasn't until my late 40's that had a writing course that was a thinly disguised Literature course [more pathetically it was at a small Bible college I attended part-time instead of the Ivy League institution at which I had pursued an engineering degree.]
For Richard, many of my searches lead me to the Stack Overflow collection of web sites. The answers I find are usually very good and often times there are one or two additional detailed explanations.
My searches have lead there as well. I'd likely not post there as they have a strong orientation to "how" rather than "why". I attract enough static on that already <grin>
Of course someone will weigh in saying that all questions are ansered in the source...
