I absolutely choose the first way..a place to get a quick answer from stored knowledge. No way do i confuse it with a site to do serious scholarship or research legal copyright issues etc...it is to me the equivalent of a conversation i could have..and if i have the same conversation ten different ways with ten groups of people it is totally fine with me. Of course i do realize there are serious scholars here, as well as lawyers etc...and if they want to answer a question i pose, fine, if not fine...mg
